Businesses are taking advantage of how cloud-native solutions run virtually on a single serverless platform.
1. Quick and Simple Setup
Out of the gates with implementation, cloud-native solutions hurdle past prolonged installation periods and don’t require a closet full of hardware. Instead of dedicating their IT professionals to keep on-premises infrastructure up and running, ready-mix, aggregate, and asphalt businesses are taking advantage of how cloud-native solutions run virtually on a single serverless platform (like those of Amazon Web Services (AWS)).
2. APIs and Modern Integration
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) make integration with ERP, quality control, telematics, batching, and BI software all possible. Designing solutions as API-friendly has opened the door to synchronize all aspects of an operation. API-first frameworks are sure signs of seamless data sharing between one tool and another, keeping your business processes in sync and your whole team on the same page.
3. Inherently Unified Cybersecurity
Systems with tiered cybersecurity defenses have multiple barriers that stand in the way of attackers; if they successfully break through one, they still stand against the rest. Cloud security architectures are homogeneous, allowing for not only a unified tiered defense, but continuous logging and monitoring, too. And don’t forget — routine infrastructure patching is most often entirely handled by a cloud provider so that customers can focus on their operations.
4. Available Anywhere, Anytime Online
Leveraging the most current web/mobile technology, businesses can expand to new markets and deploy globally in just minutes with secure, seamless access through Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities. With almost immediate uptime, cloud technology’s simple-to-start connectivity reinforces strong business-to-business collaboration.
5. Configured With Simplicity
Simple, intuitive user experiences have a direct impact on user confidence and satisfaction. With a unified cloud system, users don’t need to navigate through disconnected systems and tools to access data. Tailored to each unique operation, clean and informative screens and dashboards present the agility and performance of cloud technology in a digestible, straightforward way.
