I believe cloud computing is the future… like it or not! Operating your business using ‘Cloud’ computing reduces the costs of running businesses considerably. There is a reduction in cost for purchasing and maintaining IT hardware, software and service costs. Purchasing lots of programs and having to regularly updating to the newer version will be a thing of the past as the cloud will always have the most up-to-date programs. I believe this will also reduce the amount of IT staff needed to service and maintain computers as maintenance and upgrades will become a lot easier as the service providers will take care of this.
Using the ‘Cloud’ will improve data backup and disaster recovery as I would assume it would be more reliable and would be constantly backed up with not as much chance of viruses getting into your items. It will more than likely be providing businesses a faster time to market their business to their clients and the world.
