Should business really move to cloud

This is a question that everyone is asking nowadays. Obviously there are some factors to consider money; efficiency, reliability, and ease of use now let's break these down.

Money is one of the major factors since making money is the reason you have a business and cloud services do save you money. Cloud services charge you a subscription fee or a one-time fee. You might think why would I pay a subscription fee when I can just buy software. First of all the subscription fees are very reasonable way less then buys a software/ product. Secondly the cloud services are kept up-to-date with the current market and you don't have to pay to extra to get new features, on top of that you won't even have to wait for a new release of the software.

Efficiency always makes a pleasant working environment. Cloud makes the communications between extremely fast. Everyone can work on the most up-to-date stuff simultaneously. It is also very efficient when it comes to maintenance. You don't need any hardware and IT staff to maintain the services.

Cloud is built on the main factor of reliability. Imagine being able to store unlimited amount of data without having to worry about hard drive failures and backups. Most cloud services store your data in multiple locations worldwide.

Most people find it easier to use the cloud apps rather than the traditional software. That's because it gives the feel of browsing through the web in comparison to software.  These apps require minimum setup and IT staff. Plus you can use them on multiple platforms without worrying about compatibility issues (i.e. PC, macOS, and tablets)

Business going in the Cloud

Most of us are already using the cloud in our everyday life's because, it's easy, fast, hassle free, and reliable. You might argue about the reliability but when was the last time that you couldn't find something that you had put on a cloud. In fact its reliable enough that the U.S. government is moving all of its stuff to the cloud. It's more secure this way, no more worries about lost laptops/tablets with classified data on them. Businesses are moving rapidly towards the could because of the same reason. Google has entire OS based on the cloud.  Imagine at your office before you save your work the computer crashes or even after your work is saved the hard drive crashes.

With the cloud you don't have to worry about that as long as you are on the cloud your work is being saved on multiple servers around the world encrypted of course. The cloud brings work collaboration to a whole new level of speed and productivity. Multiple team members can be working on the same project simultaneously. This level of collaboration is critical in today's business's competitive environment. An CEO can look through a business proposal while his team is working on it. This is just one example of how the cloud is improving the business environment. This is happening at a faster pace the might think about it.
