Computer curmudgeons might tell you that cloud is just a buzzword for keeping your information offsite (think Google Docs, rather than installing Microsoft Word), but as cranky as those curmudgeons are, they do have to admit there are a lot of cloud business benefits. Is the cloud right for your business? Here are 8 reasons why the cloud is good:
1. No more “I dropped my laptop. All my data is gone”: Sure you could back up, but how many of us back up as often as we’re supposed to? Cloud servers keep and maintain much more regular backups than the average user.
2. It’s much cheaper to get started on the cloud: It used to be that businesses had to maintain servers in their offices to manage the connections between their computers and their data. When you go cloud, that information is stored offsite, meaning you don’t have to pay for a server.
