3. RUNNING IN THE CLOUD IS A
BUSINESS DECISION
“To simply say that cloud computing can increase productivity in the
workplace is a bit of an understatement. The truth is, cloud
computing can effectively redesign the way your business approaches
and accomplishes the work it performs on a daily basis. In this way,
cloud computing is less a means to improving productivity and more
of a comprehensive infrastructure which allows for the increased
streamlining of inter-office activities.”

4. Why Use the Cloud?
The decision to operate in the cloud is often
influenced by technology trends, the
consumerization of IT, and ever-closer ties between
technology delivery and business outcomes.
