Businesses want to focus on the main tasks at hand – for one, growing their sales – not the ins and outs of IT issues that arise from complicated technology solutions. Turning to cloud services is one way companies can do this. The cloud is a strategic asset for small businesses and startups, and more are jumping on board.

Why rely on the cloud?

Cloud solutions, or software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools, are easy to implement; often you can sign up for an account with just an email address. By using cloud-based email, project management, accounting and other services, companies can make sure their operations are running as optimally as possible. Cloud solutions are also less expensive than on-premise ones, and small businesses don’t need to worry about on-site maintenance requirements. Outsourcing to the cloud makes it easier for a business to run smoothly because employees don’t need to worry about backups, server upgrades or security. Running a business on a cloud-based model means companies can more easily share information, back it up automatically and not have to worry about administering services…

Today, the businesses where all employees work within the same four walls are few and far between.
