Cloud computing is no longer just a trend—it’s the foundation of modern business. But for many small and medium-sized businesses, adopting or optimizing the cloud can feel overwhelming. From managing remote teams to securing critical data and reducing tech overhead, the cloud is the key to staying competitive.
At ConnectableIQ, we help businesses cut through the noise and build right-sized, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions. Whether you're migrating for the first time or trying to untangle a patchwork of cloud tools, we’ll help you harness the full power of the cloud—safely, affordably, and strategically.
Cloud computing was made for the small business. It offers so many advantages around cost, scalability, information security and reduction in upfront and on going investments in upgrades it should be an easy choice to "move to the cloud" for many businesses. Yet most businesses fail to net the benefits of cloud computing for a variety of reasons:
Inadequate Planning and Strategy: Lack of a clear migration plan, undefined goals, or failure to align cloud adoption with business objectives often leads to unmet expectations, such as cost savings or performance improvements.
Underestimating Costs: Hidden or unanticipated costs (e.g., data transfer fees, licensing, or post-migration support) can erode expected financial benefits, with studies like McKinsey’s 2021 report noting 75% of migrations exceed budgets.
Insufficient Expertise: Small businesses often lack in-house cloud expertise, leading to misconfigurations, poor vendor selection, or inability to optimize cloud resources, resulting in inefficiencies or security gaps.
Poor Data Migration Execution: Incomplete data transfers, data loss, or compatibility issues between legacy systems and cloud platforms can disrupt operations and negate benefits like improved accessibility.
Inadequate Training: Employees unprepared to use cloud tools effectively can hinder productivity gains, as teams struggle with new systems like Microsoft 365 or Salesforce.
Security and Compliance Oversights: Failing to address regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) or misconfiguring security settings can lead to breaches, fines, or loss of customer trust, undermining anticipated security benefits.
Lack of Post-Migration Optimization: Failing to monitor or optimize cloud usage after migration (e.g., not right-sizing resources) leads to inefficiencies, with many businesses not realizing promised cost or performance gains.
Even companies that have moved to the cloud often suffer from fragmentation:
Too Many Platforms
Teams are forced to toggle between disconnected tools—hurting productivity and morale.
No Central Control
Without unified administration, security and compliance slip through the cracks.
Poor Data Sync
Systems don’t talk to each other, resulting in duplication, outdated records, and misaligned reporting.
Unpredictable Costs
Pay-as-you-go models can spiral without clear governance, leading to budget surprises.
