5 Reasons Why Your Company Is Safer in the Cloud
Still reluctant to put your data in the cloud? Don't be – the security is far stronger than anything your company can offer.
Sony, Walgreens, Best Buy, Citibank. What dubious connection do these well-known companies share? All of them fell victim to major, headline-making data breaches in 2011.
When data breaches happen to big companies, it’s natural for small businesses to take notice. Events like these create the impression that data – particularly data stored in the cloud – is vulnerable. In fact, recent research by Microsoft found that 51% of small business owners are hesitant to use cloud-based solutions because of data privacy concerns.

Claritas is an incredible time saver.
Claritas is an incredible time saver. We can zip through and see how all our projects are performing in real time.
Our company president wants to know how our contracts are performing at all times, and he needs instant access to that data.
Claritas provides project perspective and clarity that allow us to identify and address cost issues in our contracts quickly. The Claritas dashboard focuses us immediately on only those projects that are problematic. You instantly see a warning, and you click right into the project details. Before Claritas we would wade through literally 140 pages of job summary reports to find out how we’re doing. With Claritas we’re far more efficient and more profitable.
Claritas... Love it. Love it. Love it!
The new Claritas Data Directory Self Service tool works like a charm. It saves me time and so much worry. It seems I’m always running late when it’s time to roll the month, and I worry about holding things up. Now I create my data directories whenever I want with 3 button clicks in Claritas – on weekends, at 8:00 at night – and keep the business moving. I’m not the most computer savvy person in the world, but Claritas is so easy. Claritas is great.
