Let’s start with the most surprising stat: $1,800/year in electricity savings.
How? Like many small-to-midsize businesses, this company was running local servers 24/7 in a back room—servers that generated heat, sucked up energy, and required constant upkeep. Between the cooling equipment and the hardware itself, they were unknowingly spending a premium just to keep their systems online.
By migrating to a secure cloud environment, they eliminated the need for on-premise servers entirely. No more noisy server closets. No more HVAC overdrive. Just faster performance, lower costs, and peace of mind.
What Else Did They Gain?
The energy savings alone would have been worth it—but cloud migration unlocked a whole new level of performance and reliability. Here’s what changed:
- Faster access to files and apps
No more waiting for sluggish drives or outdated systems to boot up. - Anywhere access for the team
Remote work? No problem. Employees could securely log in from anywhere. - Automatic backups and updates
No more manual installs or panic over lost files. - Scalability for future growth
As the business grows, the cloud grows with it—without the need to buy more hardware. - Stronger security
With built-in firewalls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication, their data is now safer than ever.
Why the Cloud Makes Sense for Local Businesses
Whether you’re a law office, design studio, marketing agency, or even a small manufacturer—keeping everything in-house often means paying for resources you don’t need and risking downtime you can’t afford.
Cloud migration offers:
- Lower energy and maintenance costs
- Faster disaster recovery and backup options
- Enhanced collaboration tools
- Better uptime and fewer IT headaches
- Predictable monthly pricing
And in many cases, you can shift to the cloud without expensive upfront costs. Most small businesses can transition in a few days—with zero disruption.
Just a Call Away
Cloud migration sounds like a massive undertaking. But for this Beverly business, all it took was a single phone call to start the conversation. Within a week, their systems were fully cloud-based, their utility costs began to shrink, and their productivity skyrocketed.
Your business could be next.
