Cloud Computing: A must have for companies striving for success

Cloud Computing has gone from being something to be admired, into something that is now a must have for all companies with a future. For those who are new to the term, Cloud computing is technology that allows a large amount of computers to be connected through a communication network. The Cloud service is completely managed by the provider, meaning users only need access to a computer and the internet, making it effortlessly easy to use. Cloud Computing eliminates the management of hardware and software. The success of Cloud Computing has been driven largely by the increase in recent years of the exploitation of IT. Cloud Computing is more than just a platform for businesses who chose to utilise it, it is about providing companies with access to much needed resources and technologies, Cloud Computing has the ability to take a company to the next level. Businesses have begun using this new technology to successfully manage HR activities, accounting activities and customer relationship management. Just like the shift from web 1.0 to web 2.0, this new shift towards Cloud computing is becoming more and more popular and is revolutionising the business world. Cloud Computing is arguably the future for e-business and is certainly a must have for any company looking to be taken seriously as far as IT goes.
