Cloud Benefits
SaaS (software as a service) solutions will dominate the business world by 2018 with 60% of enterprises having at least half of their infrastructure hosted and stored on the cloud. What are the benefits to doing business in the clouds? Let’s investigate this trend that like it or not, continues to rise in becoming a permanent fixture of our lives.
First, it’s important to understand the problems that led to using cloud storage and SaaS-soultions. It’s a global world; last generation data storage and processes failed to keep real-time updates. Businesses risk errors and inaccurate reports when the collective progress of work is not synchronized. Whether your employee works across town or across the ocean, SaaS optimizes oversight of multiple projects and communicates the latest and most accurate information.
Other frustrations from last generation data management include labor intensive software/hardware management. Traditional software is uploaded to the computer, which limits its availability to use on one specific device. Have you ever sat down with a computer only to realize that it does not have the software you need to do your work? Clouds can be accessed by any computer as long as they are internet-connected and you can be certain that you are working with the most up-to-date version.
Other perks of SaaS solutions:
- Demos and free trials allow users a test run before purchase.
- Costs associated with fixed computer servers are eliminated.
- There is flexibility to customize by adding or removing applications of choice.
