Driving innovation and speed to market with flexible cloud solutions

Christian Correa Monsalve -- Cloud Center of Excellence

Industries today are under relentless pressure to innovate faster, deliver new products sooner, and keep operations resilient. However, many organizations are held back by aging on-premises systems that can’t keep up. Outdated infrastructure drains budgets and limits flexibility. As customer expectations rise and competition tightens, cloud solutions have become a critical path forward.

Before any innovation can happen, organizations need to free themselves from the financial drain of maintaining hardware. And cloud can transform how businesses spend on technology.

Cost savings: From owning to renting

Think of on-premises like buying a car: You own it. You pay for fuel, insurance, repairs, and parking. Even if you don’t drive it every day, you still pay for it.

Now think of cloud like public transport or Uber: You only pay when you use it. You don’t pay for maintenance or upgrades.

That’s exactly how companies save money with the cloud: They stop buying expensive servers. They stop paying for power, cooling, and IT maintenance. They pay only for what they use (pay-as-you-go).

Reliability: Always up, always available

If a server breaks down, a company's website or app might go offline. Cloud providers, on the other hand, have data centers all around the world, so even if one goes down, another one automatically takes over. It’s like a backup generator that starts instantly when the lights go out. This is why the cloud offers high availability and disaster recovery: businesses can keep running even when something goes wrong.

Companies that handle sensitive data (like hospitals, banks, or schools) must follow compliance standards to protect that information. In an on-premises setup, the company handles this all by itself:

• Security cameras
• Firewalls
• Data encryption
• Audit logs

Cloud providers already meet many of these compliance standards (like ISO, GDPR, HIPAA), so companies can “inherit” that compliance.

ROI: The investment that pays off

Moving to the cloud can look expensive at first owing to investment in migration tools, training, and setup costs to move applications and data from on-premises systems to the cloud. But here’s the key, once everything is running in the cloud, the long-term return on investment (ROI) becomes clear:

• Hardware maintenance and upgrades
• Electricity and cooling
• Hardware maintenance and upgrades
• Data center space
• IT staff hours spent fixing or monitoring physical servers

In the past, testing a new idea meant buying servers, installing software, and waiting for days or weeks. With the cloud, you can create a new environment in just a few clicks, test your idea, and then delete it if it doesn’t work.
