Why move to e-automate cloud?
Before making the decision to move a critical managed print services system to the cloud, here are some factors to consider:
| Factor | Cloud | On-premise |
|---|---|---|
| Expense | Subscription-based model is a fixed expense, positively impacting cash flow. | Capital expenses for hardware, software, and IT personnel can be unpredictable. |
| Accessibility | 24/7 access from anywhere, anytime. | Access from a machine with a downloaded program. |
| Downtime | Low downtime rate. Redundancy and failover precautions through multiple geographic regions. Fixes and enhancements automatically deployed. | Planning for maintenance, upgrades, and patches is necessary. Unplanned outages disrupt entire business. |
| Security | Highly secure with superior security applications and regular auditing maintained by providers. | Secured with business-grade antivirus, malware, intrusion prevention, and firewall. |
| Disaster Recovery | Automatic nightly backups to Tier 1 data center. | Questionable backup reliability, dependent on human planning and execution. |
| Obsolescence | Business model relies on continuous infrastructure investment. | Hardware depreciates and becomes obsolete, requiring large IT investment. |
| Control | Control of business data is secured without requiring control of hardware and software implementation. | Complete ownership and responsibility of hardware, software implementation and data security. |
| Ongoing cost | Monthly subscription fee includes product access, 24/7 security, product updates, and support. | Outright cost for software maintenance, security, hardware, IT training, and retention costs. |

Cloud FAQs
It's normal to be cautious about moving critical business systems from an on-premise instance. We heard these concerns from e-automate users who are now reaping the benefits of ECI cloud services.
What if there is an outage and I lose service
The risk of outage is significantly less in the cloud than in an on-premise environment. ECI cloud environments have substantially more redundancy than what is found in typical on-prem environments and currently provide uptime reliability greater than 99%.
Cloud migration is too expensive.
Moving to e-automate cloud services is going to eliminate the upfront costs of hardware and software licenses. You only pay for access to e-automate. You'll also enjoy a substantial reduction in IT maintenance costs incurred by your on-premise system.
I don't want to lose control of my data.
You won't. You retain ownership and control of your e-automate data in the cloud.
My data is safer on-premise.
Keeping your e-automate data on premise may feel safer, but sadly, the odds are against you. Data breaches are more likely to occur with in-house IT teams that do not have access to resources for robust security protocols.
