As a business grows, its data also grows. It's time to switch to cloud environment to store all those valuable data in a secured environment. Cloud computing just do that. You can store and retrieve business related information by just connecting your system to the cloud.
Cloud comes in different flavors. SaaS or Software as a service is the commonly used cloud computing where the cloud provider gives you everything you need to run your business. The best example can be found at salesforce.com where you can build a CRM application step by step.
What do you think about cloud computing? Is it going to remain or will perish? Please share your opinion here.

As I own an internet cafe here in mx. I have asked about that and my techs say many companies here have had problems with that service. Its not as secure as they say it is. Be careful before using it.

I'm not sure I have ever used it but as your rightly said its important that we stay ahead of cutting edge technology especially when we are running a business and its also important to secure things as safely as we can as internet crime and is theft is becoming a huge problem. I have heard of cloud technology but I.don't know loads about so I shall do some research and hopefully answe this a little better.

If everyone would use cloud computing i think its really a dream come true for cyber criminal, they just need to sneak into one place to "own" your whole digital life. It has more risk than benefits :(

It is interesting to hear about benefits of cloud computing. I did not know about that because of my computer knowledge. I would like to try cloud computing when I need it. Thanks for the information about this knowledge. Have a good day, georgegijo.

I'm curious about the services and am tempted to sign up for a free account on one of those services just to test it out for awhile. From there we'll see how useful it would be for me. Could be a good thing but I'm really not sure at this point.
