Cloud computing concepts have been around for over 20 years. Adoption has been slow but the enterprise is finally embracing the concept of having certain tools and processes hosted in the cloud. GroundWork0 has been helping companies determine and implement cloud strategies for many years. Moving key infrastructure services to the cloud allows organizations to take advantage of economies of scale, provides easier access to an increasingly mobile workforce, and reduces the capital costs of building and maintaining on-premise equipment and specialized knowledge workers. GroundWork0 specializes in helping organizations take high-maintenance/low-risk services (such as email and backup) out of their data centers and put them into the cloud, where they are easier to manage and easier to access.
