What is the Cloud today and where is it going?

Will offices continue to utilize the Cloud after the pandemic?

Some may question whether the use of the Cloud will continue to rise after the end of the pandemic. The Cloud has proven to be an effective solution that enables businesses to continue work; while saving money on utilities. Because of this, even after the COVID-19 crisis, many offices will likely continue with some form of remote work. The top choice may be to implement a hybrid office model where employees (depending on the demands of their job) can work at the office, work remotely, or even work a combination of the two. The pandemic has proven that, with the help of the Cloud, this hybrid model works.

The data agrees that “The future of work is here and its hybrid,” according to Microsoft’s 2021 Report, “73 percent of workers surveyed want flexible remote work options to continue, while at the same time, 67 percent are craving more in-person time with their teams. To prepare, 66 percent of business decision-makers are considering redesigning physical spaces to better accommodate hybrid work environments.”

Giving employees the best of both worlds will require leaders to embrace the Cloud.

Because the Cloud allows access to company data securely, from anywhere, it enables offices to implement and maintain a hybrid working environment. With the direction businesses are trending to for the future, it looks bright for the Cloud.
