Things to consider when moving to the cloud
Many businesses are now looking to move much or all of their software to cloud hosting. This allows them to access data and records from anywhere that they have a internet connection, can save money on hosting space and also offer them extra security and more effective backup methods should they need to retrieve data.
For many businesses, the worse thing about migrating to cloud based software is the integration process, as this can take a long time and involve a lot of tweaking to get it right. It may be that the new cloud software requires the content to be input in a different way, there for all extracted data from the old system will need to be changed around and configured to upload in to the new system.
Make sure that prior to migrating any software or hosting to the cloud that you have full back ups of your current data in case the worse should happen.
