When moving to a cloud solution, an important question - independently of the costs - is how to know which added value this solution will bring to you.

Competitiveness

Today, some advantages of cloud computing are well known, such as increased flexibility and scalability. But one of the most important advantages is, without any doubt, the gain in competitiveness for companies.

A recent study, published by the Harvard Business Review, "Cloud : Driving a faster, More connected business", revealed that 77% of companies that are using a cloud solution, have increased their competivitness. Even more, 40% of enterprises confirm that the cloud made them increase their revenue, and 36% say that also their margin has increased.

Reactivity & collaboration

71% concluded that the cloud not only allowed them to decrease the costs, but also to improve the companies' reactivity and the internal collaboration.

What about security?

Who says cloud computing, says also security. 39% of the companies revealed that the security of the company had not been decreased. On the contrary, in most of the cases, the security level was increased.

What can we conclude?

• Cloud computing is still growing in the enterprise world.
• The advantages of cloud computing are rapidly visible to enterprises that make use of it
• It seems that enterprises are no longer scared of the cloud
