3 BENEFITS OF CLOUD HOSTING

Operational Agility is all about making your existing project management processes better, less costly, and faster.

1 - Better

DOCUMENT CONTROL
Before the cloud, PMs and their team members had to send files back and forth as email attachments to be worked on by one user at a time. Eventually, you end up with a mess of conflicting file content, formats, and titles. The benefit of moving to cloud computing is that all files are stored centrally, and everyone remains on the same page.

COLLABORATION
Cloud-based workflow and file-sharing apps make updates in real-time. This streamlined approach results in greater team visibility and collaboration, which ultimately means higher productivity and a healthier bottom line.

DISASTER RECOVERY
For smaller businesses that lack the required cash and expertise, using cloud-based backup and recovery solutions is a smart step toward developing a robust disaster recovery system. This saves your company from a potentially devastating hardship. Cloud hosting provides greater security when a computer crashes. Because your data is stored in the cloud, you can access it no matter what happens to your machine. And you can even remotely wipe data from lost laptops so that sensitive data remains safe.

2 - Less Costly

COST-EFFECTIVE
Check out our competitors – we offer very competitive prices with no user minimum. Global PM’s cloud-based services are ideal for businesses with growing or fluctuating demands. If your needs increase, it’s easy to scale up your cloud capacity, drawing on the service’s remote servers.

CAPITAL-EXPENDITURE FREE
Global PM’s cloud hosting cuts out the high cost of hardware. You simply pay as you go and enjoy a yearly subscription-based model that’s kind to your cash flow. With effortless setup and hands-free management, it has never been easier to make the move to cloud services.

3 - Faster

WORK FROM ANYWHERE
With cloud hosting, you can be at work anywhere that you’ve got an internet connection. Need to get a report out quickly while you are out of the office? No problem. Cloud-based services boost productivity by providing options to you and your team members who are telecommuting due to Covid, traveling, or who work at several remote sites. You are not restricted to which device you use. This is particularly helpful if you use your smart device to access P6 EPPM’s mobile app.

AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE UPDATES
Having Global PM manage your cloud computing is one less thing that draws your attention away from your work demands. No need to deal with on-site servers. We take care of them for you and roll out regular updates – including security updates. This leaves you free to focus on the things that matter, like managing your projects!
