There are few web tools as useful both in your professional life, and in your personal one, as cloud computing, yet nowhere near as many people are benefitting from it as they could. That’s why this week on the Oliver Rawlings blog, I wanted to list my top four benefits of cloud computing.
As a tech buff, the way people react to new technologies annoys me sometimes. What they should see as a tool that they can use to ease the burden and the pressure in their everyday life, they often see as change; people don’t tend to like change. That’s what I think has happened to some people’s opinions of cloud storage.
Cloud computing is internet based computing. Where basically before people would download services like Microsoft Word and Excel, and use them on their computer, saving documents to their computer, a cloud based service has these programmes all on it, so you can use it anytime, anywhere. You can also access your saved documents anywhere through the cloud.
So now we know what it is why should, whether at work, at home, on the bus, in the supermarket etc. you be joining the cloud?
1) Its Flexible: Have you ever tried to move a document you’ve saved on your computer? You have to invest in a USB or email it to yourself, which is a pain in the you know what and means you have to find somewhere with internet. With cloud computing, it’s as simple as using your device somewhere with internet.
2) Its Cost Effective: Buying windows programmes such as Word and Excel is pain, and it’s expensive. Who needs the hassle and the impact on their bottom line? Because with cloud based services you’re not paying that much for a lot of essential programmes, it’s far more cost effective.
3) Its Safer: It really is safer folks. Have you ever been in that heart-breaking position where you’ve been in writing a very important document and your computer has crashed? You can recover the document somewhat, but often it doesn’t save everything you’ve done. Don’t need to worry about that with the cloud!
Its Interconnected: Think about it like this. When you’re using the cloud at work, everybody has access to it, simultaneously, with no effort at all. That’s makes working together on a big project, sharing information etc. so much easier, because you have a common place to develop the project and store it.
