"You do not have to be Albert Einstein to handle your IT assignments 'On Time' (i.e. To Schedule), 'At Cost' (i.e. To Budget) and 'To Specifications' (i.e. To Scope)"

Why Cloud Computing? (Continued)
08. Competitiveness
Wish there was a simple step you could take to become more competitive? Moving to the cloud gives access to enterprise-
class technology, for everyone. It also allows smaller businesses to act faster than big, established competitors. Pay-as-you-
go service and cloud business applications mean small outfits can run with the big boys, and disrupt the market, while
remaining lean and nimble. David now packs a Goliath-sized punch.
09. Environmentally Friendly
While the above points spell out the benefits of cloud computing for your business, moving to the cloud isn’t an entirely selfish
act. The environment gets a little love too. When your cloud needs fluctuate, your server capacity scales up and down to fit. So you only use the energy you need and you don’t leave oversized carbon footprints. This is something close to our hearts
at Salesforce, where we try our best to create sustainable solutions with minimal environmental impact.
10. Reliability
With a managed service platform, cloud computing is much more reliable and consistent than in-house IT infrastructure. Most
providers offer a Service Level Agreement which guarantees 24/7/365 and 99.99% availability. Your organization can benefit
from a massive pool of redundant IT resources, as well as quick failover mechanism - if a server fails, hosted applications and
services can easily be transited to any of the available servers.
