Are you afraid of the security and the safety of the apps? If yes! Then let me tell you that this is a common concern as everyone as everyone is looking for a fast, safe, and flexible app as security is the major concern that comes in mind of startups or entrepreneurs.

Well, this issue could be resolved if you go for Cloud-based apps as they are capable enough to get your apps updated from time to time. To know the efficiency of the Cloud-based apps, let’s have a look at the below-given image, which is a kind of survey:

Image reads: "94% of business claimed saw an improvement in security after switching to the cloud. 91% said it the cloud makes it easier to meet government compliance requirements."

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is known as a system that is fully based on the internet. Before this Cloud system, people used to download programs and applications from the software that would be downloaded from servers or computers.

But with the coming of cloud computing, you can take access of all those things directly from the internet. With the help of cloud servers, it has become possible to host software, platforms, and databases remotely, reducing the memory and computing power of individual computers. As cloud computing gives users direct access to cloud services using credentials from the cloud computing provider.

Let’s take an example of how this process works:

Whenever you update any kind of status on your Facebook, here you are, making use of cloud computing. Another example: checking the status of the bank account is again the use of cloud computing. So, it could be said that this technology is being used in day-to-day life, and more people are making use of it. According to Statista:

The cloud computing market has tripled its revenue for the past three years, posting robust and continuous growth, according to Canalys. In the first quarter of 2016, total market revenue stood at about $8 billion. Within two years, the size of the market doubled, and within three years, it reached $24.1 billion in the first quarter of 2019.

What are the benefits of making cloud-based apps?

Efficiency/cost reduction

The first and foremost importance of cloud-based apps is that it is so budget-friendly, as there is no need to spend a huge amount on buying and managing the equipment. There is no need to invest much in hardware, facilities, utilities, or building out a large data center to expand your business. Apart from this, there is no need to have a large IT team to manage your cloud data center operations, as you can get this service directly through your cloud provider’s staff.

Additionally, the cloud helps in reducing the cost of concern to downtime. This will not take your much time and money to fix up the errors as downtime is rare in cloud systems.

Data security

Data security is one of the major concerns of every business, as already told in the introduction. If the data is not secured, it can harm the company’s revenue, brand status, and customer trust.

Cloud storage providers are always active in implementing baseline protections for their platforms and the data they are processing, like authentication, access control, and encryption. Some more security features are also added to cloud data protection to access and securely save sensitive information in the cloud.

Scalability

Startups and enterprises have different IT requirements. But with the help of Cloud service, you can scale up and down your IT departments quickly and efficiently according to the business requirements.

Cloud-based service is one of the best options for fluctuating business demands. Let’s take an example; if gradually your business requirements increase, you can increase your cloud capacity even, though there is no need to invest much in physical structure. This level of agility can give businesses using cloud computing a real advantage over competitors.

The in-house operational issues and maintenance can be minimized with the help of this scalability feature. Scalability is one of the greatest advantages of the cloud in case you have high-performance resources at your disposal with professional solutions and zero up-front investment.

Provides flexible pay options

With the help of cloud computing, businesses can scale up or down according to their needs and budget. These cloud computing programs and applications that are fixed from ERP and CRM to creativity and productivity suites use a subscription-based model. It is also beneficial for eliminating the need for major upfront capital expenditures.

Promotes collaboration

The system and procedure of cloud-based software are amazing in that it promotes the ability to work together more easily and efficiently. In other words, it could be said that it promotes collaboration as it helps the staff to share real-time updates, see what other team members are doing and enables them to communicate accordingly. This collaboration among the team members is highly beneficial to speed up projects and improve customer service.

Work from anywhere

This is one of the major advantages of using cloud computing. As this is all about the internet, you can work from anywhere. And as you have a cloud service offering mobile apps, there is no need to focus on which device you’ve gone to hand.

The result of this is that business becomes more able to offer a flexible working environment to employees so that it becomes easy for them to balance work-life to enjoy it to the fullest.  One study reported that 42% of workers would swap a portion of their pay for the ability to telecommute. On average, they’d be willing to take a 6% pay cut.

Document control

If a large number of employees work on documents, then there is much need for document control. Before the cloud, workers had to send files back and forth as email attachments to be worked on by one user at a time. And as a result, you can see a mess of conflicting file content, formats, and titles.

Over time, the smallest companies are becoming more global, and the scope for the complication is rising gradually. According to one study, “73% of knowledge workers collaborate with people in different time zones and regions at least monthly”.

With the help of cloud computing, everyone can access all files as all the files are stored centrally so everyone can see the transparency. Greater transparency points toward improved collaboration which ultimately leads to a healthier ending. Stop following the old ways of working and take a step to try something more reliable and authentic.
