WHY EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS A MICROSOFT CLOUD SOLUTIONS PROVIDER

Every business needs digital capabilities to keep up with the competition, and migrating these capabilities to the cloud is ongoing. At the end of 2022, 48% of U.S. businesses used cloud storage for their most valuable data, and 94% of companies used some type of cloud services. 

Cloud-based solutions are increasingly common, and it’s difficult to know which to choose for your company. Business owners can find assistance through an experienced cloud solution provider like iuvo. 

Alarming Trends: Is Your Company At Risk? 

Businesses waste money every day paying for software licenses they don’t need, while not fully utilizing the software they do use: 

  • A recent study found that 50% of software licenses are unused, costing companies $45 million monthly for wasted software. 
  • 95% of project managers use at least two software applications to manage single projects. 
  • Multiple teams within a company often subscribe to different applications that fulfill the same purpose, such as video conferencing. This increases costs and decreases negotiating and buying power, since the number of seats your company has is split. 
  • Factors including employee reluctance to use technology, lacking the skills needed to effectively utilize data and failure to use licensed software to optimize business growth result in companies not leveraging the full capabilities of their tech stack. 

Many businesses don’t have oversight or tools in place to ensure that their IT stacks are optimized. To maximize your company’s investments, you should: 

  • Analyze every software application, checking for unnecessary and duplicate apps, functional utilization rates, the number of available seats vs. the number of actual users and the overall efficiency. 
  • Determine the best software to accomplish necessary tasks. 
  • Retire or consolidate redundant and duplicate applications and adjust the parameters of those you decide to keep or add. 
  • Provide sufficient employee training to get a better return on investment. 
  • Ensure that you comply with all licensing requirements, renewals and industry-specific regulations. 

These in-depth analyses take time, familiarity with the capabilities of each application and knowledge of how a well-designed stack works. Many in-house IT departments lack the necessary skills, tools and experience to perform successful research and create a comprehensive strategy going forward. 

Microsoft Licenses Explained 

Many enterprises rely on diverse Microsoft software solutions, with Microsoft 365 being a prominent choice among them. However, to tap into the full potential of these solutions, users require appropriate licenses. A license is essentially an agreement between the software creator and the user, outlining the terms of software use, including which features can be accessed and by how many users. These licenses come in various tiers, catering to the unique needs of businesses. 

Microsoft Licenses Explained

If you're navigating the complex world of cloud-based software for your organization, you might be grappling with questions such as: 

  • How do you determine the most suitable software for your needs? 
  • Will you be using all the components offered? 
  • Is there a need to purchase different components from multiple sources? 
  • Are there opportunities for cost savings? 
  • How can you efficiently manage various software, licenses, and subscriptions? 

A proficient cloud solution provider can guide you through these questions, assist in making informed decisions, and ensure smooth implementation, often leading to significant cost savings. 

 

Defining a Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP)

If the term 'cloud solutions provider' is new to you, you're not alone. Also known as cloud service providers, CSPs offer an array of technology services over the internet based on user demand. Collaborating with a CSP equips you with their expertise, robust cloud infrastructure, and a host of benefits like scalability, enhanced security, and continuous support.
