It's not just about saving money it's more about distinctive competitive advantage without incurring corporate costs.
Cloud computing provides business value through:
Lower initial capital costs and predictable recurring expenses.
Cloud services virtually eliminate the need for large infrastructure investments, allowing customers to obtain IT services without major capital expenditures. Cloud services are typically subscription-based. In businesses where cash flow is a top concern, prepackaged cloud solutions offered at predictable monthly subscriptions rates may be ideal.
Organisations often appreciate the shift to operating costs rather than initial capital expenditures, which can result in a healthier balance sheet.
