1. The cloud has less operational issuesCloud computing may seem complicated, but it actually has way fewer issues than other infrastructures. Since the cloud runs on its own servers through a company whose only job is to make the cloud functional and bug-free, it’s usually a whole lot more reliable than your own, on-location server.In fact, the minute a small bug arises, the company that runs your cloud network is probably already looking for a fix. If this was your remote server, you’d have to file a claim with tech support and have the department send someone down to look at it.The average server owner is way more likely to let small issues escape them (since they’re, you know, busy running a business). These issues turn into larger ones that take time and money to fix.

2. The cloud actually saves you moneyOne of the best parts of the cloud is that it actually saves you money in the long run. If you don’t have to hire a tech support team to fix server issues, well, that’s already cash in your pocket.

3. The cloud requires less capitalIt’s okay to admit that one of the hardest parts of running a startup is coming up with the capital to make your business model work and pay your employees. Server costs can be astronomical and a huge investment.One of cloud computing’s major advantages is that it requires less startup costs that a regular, local server. You simply pay for the amount of storage you need per month.Since it’s your cloud computing service’s job to upgrade yours system with new patches, this happens automatically. You don’t have to spend money on fancy, time-consuming hardware upgrades. You get purely what you need, when you need it.

4. Cloud computing increases collaboration amongst your teamAccording to the Cloud Security Alliance, 79% companies receive regular requests from users to buy more cloud applications with file sharing and collaboration being one of the top-requested cloud services.

This is because cloud computing is made for collaboration and file-sharing. Cloud computing lets your team edit files in real time and access them from anywhere in the world. Your team can be anywhere in the world and still work together.

5. Cloud computing reduces your carbon footprintCloud computing requires less physical servers. This allows companies to downsize their data centers (or completely get rid of them). Less servers means less resources used. Plus, the increased ability to share files requires way fewer printouts among your team, saving the planet and saving you money.

6. The cloud is always onHave you ever made the unfortunate mistake of forgetting an important file at work. Maybe your flash drive didn’t properly save it or maybe your email to yourself never went through.You don’t have to rush all the way back to the office to grab something from your server if you’re on the cloud. The cloud is always on, so if you have an Internet connection you can get the applications you need from literally anywhere.

7. The cloud gives employees a better work-life balanceRemember the importance of increasing collaboration and how the cloud is always on? Well, one of the many cloud computing benefits is directly related. Cloud computing creates a better work-life balance for your employees.

If employees can work from anywhere, they can quickly run home when school lets out and finish their tasks while spending time with their kids. They can even work from their tropical vacation. Happier employees make for a better workplace.

8. The cloud has better securityCloud computing offers more security than local servers. You never have to worry about losing critical data and business applications because of a natural disaster or full-on computer meltdown.Some cloud providers even back up data to additional remote servers so data loss just won’t happen. Cloud providers also perform more regular security audits than you probably would on your local server. This makes it airtight and your sensitive information is kept under wraps.

9. The cloud makes it easy to control your documentsDocument control is necessary to keep a secure business. You never know what can happen if a document gets into the wrong hands, even if it’s just the hands of an untrained employee.
