Can Cloud Computing Help Your Business? Some Pros & Cons
On yesterday’s show, we discussed the pros and cons of Cloud Computing:
PROS:
-
An ideal solution for data backup. Your data is stored remotely, which means your data is stored safely, in case of a disaster (fire, flood, robbery).
-
You can access office systems remotely – from home, on the road – the beach!
-
It’s not necessary to install software onto your computers. Work is done “in the clouds” via the internet.
CONS:
-
You need to make sure that the Cloud service you’re working with is reputable. If they disappear, so does your office systems, data, backup, etc.
-
Make sure that the site you’re using is secure. Read reviews. Find out what users are saying about the company.
-
Cloud computing services are usually paid on a monthly basis. When you stop the service, the files are gone too.
