Transitioning to a cloud-based surveillance system can seem daunting for many businesses due to the potential for high upfront costs, network infrastructure concerns, and compatibility with legacy systems. With March Networks, the move to the cloud is not an all-or-nothing proposition. It’s a tailored journey that fits the unique pace and needs of your business. Here are five tips for helping your business make this a smooth and efficient transition:
- Start with a Hybrid Approach
A hybrid system is currently the most common video surveillance strategy. A hybrid approach allows you to maintain an on-premises set up, while gradually integrating cloud capabilities, to transition at your own pace. This strategy eases concerns about bandwidth and network infrastructure by minimizing the immediate impact on your existing setup. March Networks specializes in facilitating this transition, ensuring your move to the cloud is seamless and non-disruptive.
- Address Cybersecurity Proactively
Cybersecurity vulnerabilities are a major concern for organizations considering cloud adoption. Partnering with a cloud surveillance provider that prioritizes end-to-end encryption and regular security updates is crucial. March Networks’ cloud solutions are designed with robust security measures to protect your data, addressing these concerns and ensuring your peace of mind. Over 1,000 financial institutions, including some of the world’s largest and most complex, trust March Networks’ video surveillance and analytics solutions because of their robust cybersecurity and data protection practices.
- Capitalize on Cloud ROI
Concerns about the cost of transitioning to and maintaining a cloud-based system are valid, but the broader economic benefits are significant. Cloud surveillance systems can reduce maintenance and upgrade costs over time. Our case studies have shown that the ROI from reduced downtime, fewer service calls, and operational efficiencies can outweigh initial expenses. For example, a large retailer with 5,000 locations saved $40 million in one year with Cloud Management due to reduced truck rolls and the ability for remote troubleshooting. March Networks works with customers to identify cost-saving opportunities, making the economic case for cloud adoption clear and compelling.
- Leverage Scalability to Your Advantage
One of the greatest strengths of cloud-based systems is their scalability. Whether you’re a small business or a multinational corporation, you can scale your surveillance system to match your growth, adding new cameras, software, integrations and storage as needed without major infrastructure overhauls. This scalability can mitigate concerns about future expansions or reductions, allowing for flexible adjustment to your changing needs.
- Utilize Professional Support for Legacy Systems Integration
Integrating legacy systems into a modern cloud-based solution is a common hurdle. While many security providers resort to the “rip-and-replace” method, March Networks excels in providing strategic advice, support and expertise, ensuring your existing investments are not wasted. Our team can help bridge the gap between old and new systems, ensuring that your transition leverages the best of both worlds. This approach addresses concerns about leaving behind functional equipment, ensuring a smooth and efficient upgrade path.
By following these tips and partnering with a provider like March Networks, businesses can navigate the perceived barriers to cloud adoption, leveraging the power of cloud-based surveillance to enhance security, operational efficiency, and overall business intelligence.
The journey to the cloud is a strategic evolution, not a sudden leap, and with the right partner, it can be a smooth and rewarding process.
