6 things your cloud provider should do for you 1. Ensure that you retain full rights to your data at all times. 2. How regularly is your data backed up? 3. What policies/procedures are in place to protect your data? 4. Ensure it is not possible for data to be accessed by anyone other than authorized representatives of your company. 5. You can easily and quickly transfer your data to a different platform at a time of your choosing. 6. Information can be downloaded in a wide array of formats to ease migration. 17
