WHY ONLINE SOFTWARE?

What is 'the cloud'?

'The cloud' = The internet

...and, it opens up a whole new way of doing business.

TOP 5 BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING:

1. No hardware to purchase or maintain
You can cut your costs by not having to purchase and maintain servers, house them securely, and continuously installing and maintaining the software.

This requires the time and effort of experienced IT personnel and distracts your team members from there regular work.

2. No software to install
Forget about ever having to wait for software installation disks to arrive, keeping them in storage and having to reinstall them at a later date.

Since online software runs over the Internet and is brought to you through a browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, you never need to be concerned about software improperly installing on your computers or network.

3. Automatic software updates
With traditional software, you typically have to wait for a new release to benefit from the latest innovations and given the cost and complexity associated with upgrading, it may not even be practical to upgrade each time a new release becomes available.

But because online software does not reside on your computer or network, you never need to wait for an update to download or install. You are always running the most recent version!

4. Secure data & automatic back-ups
Hard disks can and do crash, which can cause your data to be lost forever unless you have a strict and up-to-date data back up routine.

5. Access your information from anywhere
It doesn't matter where you are - as long as you have a computer with internet, you can access your information.

Login on your iPhone, iPad, or other mobile device too.
