Every time we onboard a new client here at ClearFuze we conduct a comprehensive audit. This initial ClearONE Advantage business audit covers a number of critical IT needs. It’s our job to see what is working and what isn’t working currently and deliver timely support to save you time and money. Cloud solutions are a big one for Los Angeles small to medium-sized businesses; often we find new clients are still on old servers and are looking to move to something more modern. They also need endorsements for switching to better cloud workflow software. Below we dive into why you should be considering cloud IT solutions for your company — and utilizing expert help to select smart, safe, budget-friendly options that work best for the way you do business.
The Benefits of Cloud Services Across Industries
Old servers and other internal IT infrastructure pose a number of dangers. Older software doesn’t receive important patches and cannot access critical modern features developed to protect the user from cybersecurity threats. As your applications are upgraded your servers will become less and less compatible, which means the apps won’t run as efficiently. And paying to maintain and upgrade an old server often outstrips the cost of purchasing a more modern replacement. This is why ClearFuze routinely removes old servers and moves companies to the cloud, no matter how big or small they may be. It is both safer and smarter.
In addition, many of the apps you work with now — or will work with in the future — are cloud-based. Gmail and Office365 are on the cloud, along with Dropbox and a number of other data storage applications. Plenty of backup applications are also cloud-based. Below are some additional details on the cloud-based apps we recommend for assisting different verticals.
Healthcare
Our recommendations for cloud-based electronic medical records software vary. This is because there are as many as 500 different platforms to choose from, all established when healthcare records moved to electronic filing systems. Depending on whether your organization runs hospitals, clinics, offices, etc., our suggestions will change.
For businesses such as medical aesthetics forms, the software chosen must enable repeat visits and the integration of specific products. Chiropractors see patients with recurring issues. And hospitals must maintain a close eye on the quality and efficiency of care delivery. There are 6-7 cloud-based options for running hospital healthcare systems, and we like a couple of them, including Epic.
Entertainment
There are quite a few cloud-based apps for all types of entertainment firms, including talent agencies, marketing and PR firms, post-production houses, and more. Our suggestions are based on the number of clients you work with, the type of content you produce, your data and AI needs, and productivity and collaboration specifications.
Finance, Private Equity and Accounting
Brokers, property managers, and real estate developers enjoy using software applications including Appfolio and Yardi. Private equity firms favor apps such as Deal Cloud because they need better solutions for their workflow problems. And for accounting firms, we recommend Quickbooks, Xero, and other cloud-based versions of popular software.
