Hybrid cloud protection, bringing a combination of on-premise and off-premise approaches under a single strategy to best manage and prevent data security threats. A growing workforce of tech-savvy Millennials who seek out cloud-based collaboration technologies ideal for working 24/7 regardless where they are or what mobile device they fancy.

The focus of fast growing businesses today is on leveraging innovative business technologies to drive success in an increasingly digital business environment. In addition, companies of all sizes want to optimize their digital arsenal to get the most out of their tech investments.

You want to protect – and optimize – your Sage investment.

Your Sage ERP software saves you time and money by organizing a matrix of complex businesses processes and rendering them more efficient through automation. Your Sage ERP gives you a sophisticated business oversight with advanced automation, while at the same time giving your employees the freedom to put their energies into key areas of business operations and development.

Sage ERPAre you doing all you can to optimize your Sage ERP? Here’s six key points to keep in mind as you ponder that question.

  1. Proactive Data Security: Managed IT services afford businesses the 24/7 security necessary to mitigate risks and, if a situation arises, restore operational processes and data integrity with speed, resources, skill to protect and secure data integrity. Even with an in-house IT department, sometimes it can be difficult to ensure that a business has the right talent on staff – at the right time – to handle a random IT issue. Infrastructure management, firewall and virus protection, WAN/LAN health monitoring, a fully secure virtual environment, disaster recovery, scheduled on-site support and more – all are critical for business security.
  2. Know Your Risks: Malware, hacking, loss of customer data due to breaches – or natural disasters. Not only can a managed services provider track and begin remediation of a known event more quickly and efficiently than the business could in the past, but through the robust tools available to managed services providers, many events can be headed off at the pass. Managed services organizations can determine that a failure is imminent in many cases, thereby allowing remediation efforts that will prevent the failure from occurring in the first place, which clearly reduces downtime and risk for the client company.
  3. Go Mobile: Remote working is also on the upswing across most industries. The finance, insurance and real estate industries are experiencing a greatest surge in time spent remote working. While bracing up to an increasingly mobile workforce is a big 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.
  4. Cloud Business Intelligence: Currently most businesses moving to the cloud are hungry for better business intelligence, with real-time analytics powered by Software as a Service (Saas) applications connecting all critical business processes. By going to the cloud, businesses – including Sage ERP users – can extend the life of their Sage enterprise resource planning solution to increase productivity and profitability. Sage ERP users have many options when it comes to selecting an ERP partner and solutions advisor to extend the life of their Sage ERP. Critical in this journey to the cloud for Sage ERP users is finding the right ERP partner.
  5. Drive Your Analytics: Millennials believe in collaboration and sharing real-time business intelligence. Millennials thrive on analytics – and constant feedback. For this generation of rising corporate leaders, business intelligence software that fuels the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in real time is not simply valued – it’s expected. Millennials want custom reports, up-to-the-minute dashboards and collaborative platforms on which to review and discuss all big data insights. Clearly, ERP innovators have picked up on the advancements required to elevate ERP solutions in compliance with the demands of today’s escalating
  6. Never Be Disrupted – Ever: When a business is disrupted, the results can be devastating when considering the impact on lost revenues alone. More and more, a hybrid cloud solution is recommended to maintain structured business continuity, as it encapsulates the best of private and public models to create a feature rich, highly efficient, and affordable system. It is imperative that businesses today map out a business impact analysis to identify time-sensitive functions and processes and determine the best business continuity strategies to avoid massive business disruption. An intelligent business continuity solution will take disaster recovery and risk mitigation to the next level with a well-formulated hybrid cloud strategy.
