In recent years, the cloud computing industry undoubtedly rose to a higher level. Gone are the days when people and tech experts were questioning its capability to manage a company and an industry in the online world alone; doubts on the possibility of putting an entire industry profile on cloud have been dispelled. But no one can blame companies that still couldn’t turn over their hard copies to the InterWeb—change, especially a major one, is always difficult to deal with.
The reasons behind the cloud computing boom, if explained to a traditionalist who doubts the powers of this technology, are not really technical and are rather practical. Yes, trades and firms finally gave in to the promises of cloud computing for reasons simple and understandable.

Affordable. With only Internet connection to rely on, being on cloud means there will be more physical space in the office –servers where office documents, employee profiles, operation details, and business plans are no longer needed. This being said, it means that being on cloud means “going green,” too. The company can save money on energy bills and can use the extra space to house more employees.
Saves time. In cloud computing, the trade owner lets everything to the cloud server. All he needs to do is let the program do the work for him—from organizing files and computing transactions and employees’ salaries to verifying works that need double checking. The work flow is more streamlined, saving time and eliminating error.
Safe. In cloud computing, everything is secure, since no burglar or thief can physically steal information from the Web. And the experienced hackers? There are many anti-hacking software and security measures online, all offered by the cloud provider.
