Are you ready to move your Sage ERP to the cloud? Are you thinking its time to seriously consider the benefits of Sage cloud hosting? Is moving to the cloud on your priority list this year? The trend of American employees working remotely is on the rise, according to Gallup’s State of the American Workplace report.
In 2012, Gallup data showed that 39 percent of employees worked remotely in some capacity and, in 2016, that number grew to 43 percent. Remote working is also on the upswing across most industries Gallup has studied. The finance, insurance and real estate industries experienced the greatest surge in time spent remote working, followed by the manufacturing and construction, transportation, and retail industries.
While bracing up to an increasingly mobile workforce trend is a contributing factor for many businesses moving to the cloud today, other key motivators include the push to lower hardware costs and reduce energy bills, as well as automate processes for more scalable, intuitive and efficient business operations.
