Widespread shutdowns and skyrocketing unemployment rates have put pressure on businesses in the U.S. and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstimates so far indicate the virus could trim global economic growth by as much as 2.0 percent per month if current conditions persist and raise the risks of a global economic recession similar in magnitude to that experienced during the Great Depression of the 1930s,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/fas.org\/sgp\/crs\/row\/R46270.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Congressional Research Service states<\/a> in a report issued June 1.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, businesses everywhere are grappling with considerable financial stress and searching for ways to rein in spending. If your organization is seeking strategies for operating expenditure reduction, here are a few key ways to cut your IT costs.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Embrace more cloud solutions.<\/h2>\n<p>As businesses have sought to slow the spread of COVID-19 during the past couple of months, the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/306695\/workers-discovering-affinity-remote-work.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">portion of American employees working from home<\/a> has skyrocketed. In line with that development, many companies have also increased their reliance on cloud-based products like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/responding-to-covid-19-keep-remote-workers-connected-with-leading-ucaas-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS)<\/a> platforms, since one of the most notable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-cloud.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advantages of the cloud<\/a> is its accessibility from anywhere: 59 percent of enterprises expect their cloud usage to exceed what they previously anticipated because of the pandemic, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexera.com\/about-us\/press-center\/flexera-releases-2020-state-of-the-cloud-report.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Flexera 2020 State of the Cloud Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to accommodating remote workers, moving from on-premise solutions to cloud-based offerings can also serve as a cost-containment strategy. The financial benefits of cloud solutions can include the following, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webroot.com\/us\/en\/resources\/tips-articles\/five-financial-benefits-of-moving-to-the-cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Webroot<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced energy costs, since cloud solutions typically use less electricity.<\/li>\n<li>Less spending on hardware<\/li>\n<li>Lower IT support expenses, since cloud providers typically have their own support staff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, check out our previous blog entry, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/will-i-save-money-by-moving-to-the-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Will I Save Money by Moving to the Cloud?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>2. Re-evaluate your approach to cloud cost management.<\/h2>\n<p>If you already rely on cloud solutions or are in the process of adopting more cloud-based tools, taking a close look at how you\u2019re handling cost management could result in considerable savings for your company. The following factors can potentially lead to overspending on cloud solutions, according to the white paper \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/info.flexera.com\/SLO-CM-WP-Essential-Strategies-for-Managing-Cloud-Costs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Essential Strategies for Managing Cloud Costs<\/a>\u201d from Flexera.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buying more storage than you need.<\/li>\n<li>Lack of automated workloads.<\/li>\n<li>Poor visibility into resource costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at our previous blog entry \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/4-tips-for-better-cloud-cost-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4 Tips for Better Cloud Cost Management<\/a>\u201d to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Outsource your IT support.<\/h2>\n<p>The main advantage of having an in-house IT department is that they\u2019re in the same physical office space with the rest of your team. With many people now logging in from home, that doesn\u2019t matter as much. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/7-benefits-of-outsourcing-your-it.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Outsourcing your IT support<\/a> to a third-party provider can help you cut your IT costs while still maintaining access to high-level technological expertise.
