By [Joseph Timmins](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/author/joseph-timmins) May 17, 2016 1 Minute Read http://www.teamacuity.biz/contact Events that require businesses to rethink IT deployment – rapid business growth, acquisitions, additional locations, seasonality, IT complexity, and more – are often what triggers a move to the cloud. **Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of shifting to the cloud, and if they're worth consideration:** ## Business Growth Cloud solutions allow you to easily add employees, locations, and functionality. Instead of investing in building on existing IT infrastructure, businesses can focus on business growth and driving revenue. ## Improved Collaboration Cloud-based workflow and file sharing capabilities provide visibility and easy access to shared data from a variety of devices, promoting collaboration and communication across teams. ## Efficiency, Cash Flow, and Expense vs. Capital Cloud solutions provide businesses measurable benefits, including efficiency and mobility improvements. Cash flow of a subscription-based solution is also a benefit, as it eliminates the up-front capital expenses of a traditional IT infrastructure. ## Expert Infrastructure Management Managed cloud providers are responsible for the maintenance of the infrastructure, which frees up your IT staff to focus on innovative new projects that deliver value to the business. Additionally, the data center responsible for hosting also offers security, redundancy, and 24/7 monitoring. What does your current infrastructure look like? Is your business looking to shift to the cloud? The experts at Acuity would love to discuss your options and help implement a solution to meet your business needs.
