SMBs often fall short on budget, making it a key challenge for them to adopt the cloud. This challenge also persists with the staff that is required to manage the adoption process. Apart from this, many SMBs are not ready to adopt the cloud, thinking that it is a complex process and might disturb their business operations. However, these challenges can be dealt with through planning and creating a cloud adoption strategy. SMBs must start by assessing their goals and objectives as to why they need to adopt the cloud. Then invest in training your employees to use cloud technologies, which can help mitigate resistance and build confidence in using new systems. Further, engage with multiple cloud providers, perform a cost-benefit analysis, and choose the one that offers a perfect balance between cost and services against it.
