In most cases these are founded on myths and fears that don\u2019t match the reality behind this technology. Here we show how baseless some of these are:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Myth 1 \u2013 It\u2019s not safe:<\/strong> An <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meta4.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR solution<\/a> in the cloud mode is as safe as the in-house mode. What\u2019s important is that the provider ensures compliance with all safety protocols and the applicable law in each case and country, just as for solutions in other modes. That\u2019s why it\u2019s necessary to check with the provider where the servers are housed geographically and what security measures are applied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Myth 2 \u2013 If the server goes down, I lose all my information: <\/strong>Today&#8217;s Cloud servers are located in data centers with high security and availability: backups, constant cooling, load balancers, emergency power sources, etc. Stringent measures ensure no information is lost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Myth 3 \u2013 My system doesn\u2019t work as well as if I were to have it in-house: <\/strong>On the contrary, the functionality and availability of the system is guaranteed by the provider, together with constant innovation and development. This model constantly updates the system, which benefits from collective intelligence by immediately making available to all users improvements made to each of the provider\u2019s various clients. If the provider is specialized in Global HR for instance, the best practices functionality implemented for companies with global and local issues and the legal requirements of each country benefits from each client\u2019s solution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Myth 4 \u2013 It\u2019s going to be more expensive: <\/strong>Quite the contrary,one of the great advantages of this model is variabilization costs. The &#8220;pay per use&#8221; mode typical of a cloud solution, besides providing considerable cost savings, can transform fixed costs into variable costs and enables planning for each technology infrastructure cost in the HR field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Myth 5 \u2013 It\u2019s going to take a long time to pass my data to the cloud: <\/strong>Going live in the cloud is extremely fast compared to other solutions. No local deployment and installation is required; anyone can access it with just an Internet connection. What\u2019s more, HR becomes far less dependent on IT.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meta4.com\/ebooks\/cloud-hr-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1084 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/glocalthinking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ebook_cloud_eng_buena1.jpg\" alt=\"ebook_cloud_eng_buena\" width=\"265\" height=\"228\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When thinking about migrating their HR system to the cloud, sometimes professionals have misgivings about this model.
