Doing Business in the Cloud

Cloud computing offers your business a plethora of advantages that help you gain an edge in an ever increasingly technologically driven landscape. The obvious leg up is that working through the ‘Cloud’ permits you to be able to run your business anywhere in the world and at any time. This is the direction business as whole is shifting, with the number of connected devices showing no signs of slowing, having mobility can give your company the upper hand on competition, time to market and speed of service. 

Cloud computing allows you to access your data and programs outside of your own computing environment. Rather than storing your data and software on your personal computer or server, it is stored in 'the cloud'. This could include applications, databases, email and file services.

Scalability

As your business grows you can scale up or down your operation and storage needs with the onus of installing physical upgrades to the backend on the cloud service provider.
