According to the report "Unlocking the UK’s AI Potential" commissioned by Microsoft, almost a third (31%) of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) have not adopted cloud technology yet. This could prove to be a serious handicap to a business - we consider why you should make the switch:

1. Cost Efficiency:

   • Reduced IT Costs: Eliminates the need for purchasing and maintaining physical hardware.

   • Pay-as-You-Go: Users can pay only for the resources they use, making it cost-effective.

2. Scalability:

   • Flexible Scaling: Easily scale resources up or down based on demand without physical constraints.

3. Accessibility:

   • Remote Access: Access data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection, enabling remote work and collaboration.
