Everyone is talking about cloud computing so much, but a lot of people only think of it as servers that are “out there somewhere.” And while the primary reason for using cloud computing is to save money, there’s more to it than that.
This may be the best argument for a cloud-based system: Cloud servers are a lot less expensive than trying to host them in-house or building something from scratch.
Larger corporations with many servers also have the added costs of hiring IT staff to manage everything, cooling and ventilation costs, and added cybersecurity costs (more on that in a minute).
Everything is online, all of your enterprise apps and e-commerce software is on a different server, which means your company will have access to all the information stored there.
You can use enterprise versions of office software and let remote employees access that information from their homes.
Some cloud-based software companies use applications that are ready to be installed in mobile devices like tablets, laptops, and smartphones so the information is accessible with just a few clicks.
