3.    Automatic Licensing Control and Software Updates

       The beauty of cloud computing is that the servers are off-premise, out of sight and out of your hair. Suppliers take
       care of them for you and roll out regular software updates – including security updates – so you don’t have to
       worry about wasting time maintaining the system yourself. Leaving you free to focus on the things that matter, like
       growing your business. They are also in charge of controlling software licensing and what software is used.

4.    Reduced Capital Expenditure
       Cloud computing reduces the cost of hardware. You simply pay as you go and enjoy a subscription-based model
       that’s kind to your cash flow. Add to that the ease of setup and management and suddenly your scary, hairy IT
       project looks at lot friendlier.

5.    Increased Collaboration and work from anywhere
       When the teams can access, edit and share documents anytime, from anywhere, they’re able to do more
       together, and do it better. Cloud-based workflow and file sharing apps help them make updates in real time and
       gives them full visibility of their collaborations.

​

       With cloud computing, if you’ve got an internet connection you can be at work. And with most serious cloud
       services offering mobile apps, you’re not restricted by which device you’ve got to hand.

​

       The result? Businesses can offer more flexible working perks to employees so they can enjoy the work-life
       balance that suits them – without productivity taking a hit. One study reported that 42% of workers would swap a
       portion of their pay for the ability to telecommute. On average they’d be willing to take a 6% pay cut.
