Combatting the Cloud Skills Gap - The NetCom Way of Learning Cloud Computing



As businesses are quickly adopting trending technology, they also recognize they do not have competently skilled resources to scale new technology growth. Only when the IT department of an organization is prepared to embrace the technology changes, will they be able to absorb the trends and rise up to fully utilize the latest technologies. It is evident from the exponential growth showcased by even small companies that the right technology can drive any business to greater heights without fail. The Cloud, or Cloud Computing, is one such technology quickly becoming the key pathway to business success.

How Does the Cloud Add Value to Businesses?
Cloud technology provides a lot of conveniences to businesses ranging from data storage to shared technology solutions. Cloud provides the best of technology at affordable rates in a secured manner to businesses across industries and domains. It makes the most of shared technologies, such as SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, DaaS, MSaaS, MBaaS, and ITMaaS. In fact, Cloud Computing is closely connected with Software as a Service (SaaS); it is an integral part of the Cloud architecture.

Centralized management is one of the most beneficial features of shared Cloud services. Cloud Computing has elevated the ‘shared’ experience to another level. Now the client can enjoy complete freedom from having to manage any sophisticated software or IT service, including information, and still benefit significantly from them.

Cloud manages everything for a business, from data to processing and reporting. It gives more freedom to the businesses to share their software and relevant data with their stakeholders, team members and customers without compromising on key security aspects. Cloud Computing reduces the need for hefty capital investments and reduces dependence on an fully staffed, expert IT department.

Some of the major advantages that Cloud Computing offers businesses are:
  • A wide range of Applications can be deployed on the Cloud platform.
  • No need to invest upfront on software licensing.
  • No investment required on special hardware such as servers.
  • Allows connection to the software and data from anywhere.
  • Reduced costs on data sharing, storage, and protection.
  • Cloud can help drive sales.

The Growth of Cloud Computing
According to studies, Cloud Computing will become a business norm by 2020. At the rate in which businesses are adopting this trending technology, the investments on Cloud technologies is expected to grow by 19.4% annually. Oracle’s Larry Ellison considers that “Cloud Computing is not only the future of computing, but the present and the entire past of computing.”

Cloud computing is currently helping the US Federal Government to save $5.5 billion every year. More than 80% of the companies already migrated to Cloud have confirmed that they have gained significantly in terms of ROI, efficiency, and productivity as a result the migration. At least 70% of businesses have been able to reinvest funds back into their businesses because of the savings from Cloud.
