Benefits of Cloud based Software

Successful businesses small and large are simplifying their operations and slashing their growing hardware and technology costs by moving to Cloud based software solutions. Cloud based software is accessed through a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari and offers many advantages over traditional software that requires organizations to purchase hardware and hire technology professionals to manage infrastructure. Here are a few compelling reasons to join the growing trend.

	Lower Cost You get more than software with a Cloud based solution: You get a service that not only provides you with software, but also manages it for you. You don’t have to worry about the expense of buying or maintaining expensive hardware and software every few years. And instead of paying large upfront software and hardware costs, expenses are made up of smaller, predictable fees.
	Increased Security Critical information about your business and customers is protected in a Tier 1 data center, which provides the same level of security used by many banks to protect financial information. The data center ­facilities are secure and have 24-hour monitoring with multiple levels of physical security. Data is transferred using secure socket layers (SSL), which means all traffic is encrypted. In addition, our payment gateway providers and merchant banks are PCI and Sarbanes Oxley certified. We also protect your ­information with annual network intrusion audits.
	Business Continuity Every major component of our high availability platform is redundant, significantly minimizing ­downtime that is disruptive to your business. Your data is backed up on a near real-time basis and stored off-site, protecting your valuable business information against data loss.
	Ease of Implementation and Use Implementation is a stress free activity since there are no servers for you to setup and no software to install and configure. Your business users will be up and running in hours not weeks. And, because so many people have Internet experience, learning curves are shorter and adoption rates are higher. In addition, Cloud based software is available anytime, anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection.
	Flexible and Scalable Our platform will have ample capacity to scale as your business grows—adding new users is a snap; you don’t have to purchase new hardware or install new software. And you only pay for what you need now: users, functions and features can be added painlessly as you grow.
	Always Up to Date You are always working with the very latest software and hardware. Functional upgrades to ­purchased modules are free and are managed centrally. In addition, servers, storage and system software are ­upgraded routinely—another cost you now avoid.
