The biggest draw to using a cloud service
is undoubtedly secure and reliable data
storage. Many SMBs opt for a complete
cloud-storage solution, keeping all their data online to avoid
data disasters, and allowing 24/7 access to it. Most though,
tend to lean toward a hybrid solution, where both on-site and
cloud storage solutions work best.
STORAGESmall businesses are increasingly
turning to a cloud-based accounting
and financial solution instead of the
traditional desktop accounting software. Cloud financial
services offer secure access to the company’s financial records,
are cheaper to establish and allow you to get to your records
from any Internet connected device.
FINANCIALCollaboration in the cloud can
have a huge impact on how you
and your business works with
others. Remote or mobile users can work as if they’re in the
office and cross company projects can be managed easily.
It’s a smarter way of working together and thanks to cloud
technologies, also a lot easier.

right, and that’s often quite expensive. Using cloud-based email
is a cheaper and hassle-free solution that the SMB should
really consider adopting. EMAILColleges, training centres
