If you store confidential data from human resources in the cloud then it is essential that your HR department is aware of security best practices. Certainly, the same goes for your sales team if they utilized a cloud based CRM.

Of course, there is an obvious learning curve, but ensuring that you and your employees are fully invested in cloud adoption and cloud culture is the best way to begin your cloud journey.
