Analyzing the Rate of Migration to Cloud Technologies

The Cloud. The movement of all things tech-related to the cloud has become an ever-present topic of discussion in the last few years. While “the overarching concept of delivering computing resources through a global network is rooted in the sixties” (source), the cloud computing concept has experienced explosive growth in the last decade as companies like Salesforce.com have made enterprise application delivery via a website a reality.  Here at Aryaka, we specialize in helping solve the challenge of unreliable performance of public internet experienced by end users as a result of enterprise applications and services moving to the cloud.

As such, we took a special interest in a recent survey done by PC Connection that analyzed how far along in the process of adopting cloud technology a sampling of 500 different organizations were as of 2013. The results are quite interesting, revealing that while only about 1 in 5 organizations have already moved some of their applications to the cloud, 50% of organizations labeled themselves as “on the way” to moving applications to the cloud as they are in various stages of evaluating vendors, making plans, etc. Not surprising, a chief motivation for migration to the cloud is disaster recovery, while ensuring proper security is listed as the most significant challenge.  We hope you find our infographic to be interesting, and please feel free to submit your comments or questions!

The Economic Value of Business Signage

Working every day with clients in conceptualizing, designing, fabricating, and installing one-of-a-kind signage that beautifully presents their brand, we are always interested in data points that show the financial impact that enhanced signage can have on a business. As such, we were really interested to come across a recent study conducted by the University of Cincinnati and the Economics Center that analyzed the economic value of on-premise signage.

Reading through the paper, there is a wealth of information and data points, in addition to some very impactful case studies. As a fun exercise, we thought it might be useful to try and visually present just a bit of this great information through our latest infographic that you can see below.
