In today's times of cloud services adoption, we need to explore whether the MSMEs are able to adopt cloud. Punit Thakkar, CEO Shivaami Cloud Services tells us about this in his cloud business.
How is the MSME sector doing in terms of cloud adoption?
Initially, many MSME sectors were traditionally limited in their ability due to the lack of IT support & usage of the old legacy systems. However, in this past year, COVID-19 acted as a guiding force & has accelerated the adoption of cloud technology. Many of the MSME after adopting cloud services in their organisation, started to save cost, increase collaboration, improve productivity, and easily communicate with each other. With cloud adaptation their data is also now much more secure than their legacy storage systems.
What cloud offerings are the most popular in the MSME sector and in the enterprise sector?
With several great platforms available, Google Cloud has proven to be one of the most popular platforms among the MSME and Enterprise sectors. Google Cloud Platform is agile, secure & provides scalable offerings, this is an added advantage for startups & enterprises with a large team. Google Cloud has been helping several enterprises & MSME sectors optimise their business workload & speed up their digital transformation journey.
