How Cloud Computing Can Save Ghanaian SMEs 40% in IT Costs
A practical guide for small and medium businesses.
Cloud adoption reduces capital expenditure on servers, improves reliability, and lets businesses pay only for what they use. For Ghanaian SMEs, the biggest savings come from moving email, files, backups, and customer apps to managed cloud services like AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.
Where the Savings Come From
- No up-front server purchases and reduced maintenance
- Automatic scaling — no overpaying for unused capacity
- Built-in security, backups, and disaster recovery
Starter Migration Roadmap
- Move email and files to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Migrate websites and apps to a managed PaaS (e.g., Firebase, Vercel, or Azure App Service)
- Automate backups and monitoring; consolidate vendors
