Why a 'cloud now' mindset is essential to tackle your data growth

Businesses must switch from a slowly evolving cloud first approach to a much more rapid “cloud now” mindset if they are to overcome the data growth and security challenges faced by all organizations in today’s “new reality”.

Data, Data, Everywhere

The data growth that organizations face comes from documents being stored in many different places – shared drives, hard drives, in a public cloud, in an on-premises data center – and the increasing number of applications in use.  But the ongoing pandemic has seen information sprawl become more complex because information is now also scattered across personal devices, often located way outside the corporate network. Increasingly, organizations are needing to rapidly embrace digital ways of working and doing business – something the cloud enables – in order to survive, thrive and respond to changing demands and behaviors in the market.

The Fast and Furious need for speed: From ‘cloud first’ to ‘cloud now’

The acceleration of data growth means organizations must move faster. They require a “cloud now” mindset, where even existing applications are moved to the cloud more rapidly than previously planned. “Not in the next three to four years, but more likely in the next three to four quarters.” Many organizations have started to embrace the cloud now transformation which is done by which is done by migrating your core information from on-prem solutions to cloud.  This provides improved functionality to assure quality and information management compliance so that your organization can now better manage its huge volume of documents.
