Retail & E-Commerce Industry

In the contemporary world, retailers must provide transactability online, in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. Importance of ecommerce is increasing rapidly, alongside its need to be user friendly and fast. Hence it is important to have a robust online environment in order to ensure that it operates smoothly.

Cloud services have changed the way ecommerce organizations operate. It has made it possible for the e-commerce companies to reach its goals and in turn increase its revenue. This transformational shift in how data on e-commerce applications are accessed, has made the customer experience more customized. Therefore, companies that have incorporated cloud services into their organizations, have a competitive advantage over those who have not.

This competitive advantage can be gauged, based on the following factors:

Cost Reduction

Ecommerce businesses have to manage big data in order operate smoothly and give a personalized experience to its customers. In order to do that they must have a state of the art storage/back up system that is easily accessible. To fulfil that need in house, they’d have to arrange an on premise system; this is firstly very expensive to build, followed by the need for constant monitoring and maintenance. If they opt for CubeXS cloud services, they will have the facility of paying according to their requirement. Additionally, as the business grows they don’t need to invest in hardware or software infrastructure. With cloud computing, the costs of developing and maintaining IT infrastructure is drastically cut down as well.

Scalability

Cloud Computing enables an e-commerce business to upscale or downscale services based on the changing demand of its customers, fluctuating traffic and shifting scenarios of the market. It is vital to scale the business as it grows, therefore, CubeXS Cloud provides a scalable architecture to your business. A sudden rise in traffic can slow down a website and make it unresponsive; this can tarnish customer loyalty and all in all ruin the customer’s experience. Hence, CubeXS Cloud computing provides you with greater bandwidth, storage and computational power, as you grow, in order to make it possible to handle increasing workloads without deteriorating performance levels.

Redundancy in Cloud Services

Cloud-based architectures keep your data secure, backed-up and accessible. The success of an e-commerce business depends hugely on the management of its customer’s data. A cloud-based platform with built-in redundancy (built-in duplication of data, equipment, systems, and other components) can save the business from data loss. It is at the time of distressing data losses or security threats that redundancy helps to overcome the disaster and resume the business without any delays.
