Cloud Computing - Doing Business In Cyberspace

Date: 06/07/2010

Is your business up in the clouds? Maybe it should be: "software-as-a-service" and "cloud computing" are proving a godsend to many small businesses.

Cloud computing and software-as-a-service have become buzzwords among IT people and business owners looking for more efficient ways to manage their inhouse systems. But Sandy Male, of Tymwise, says there's no mystery: they're simply distribution models hosted by a vendor and made available via the Internet. They can be used for a variety of activities, from appointment scheduling to payroll management, allowing business owners and managers to concentrate on their core business. Security need not be an issue - plenty of reliable hosts are available, and customers can also access the systems where appropriate, binding them more closely to your business.
