Offers that information systems are available as a service in the cloud are often hastily rejected. Is that right?

1. The business benefits
of cloud-based applications?

2. What are the benefits of cloud-based
solutions, what are the differences
between them and why many of the
existing licenses purchased at one time
may disappear from the market?
Is that right?
Offers that information systems are available as a service

3. Comparison of costs
- a real account
When you buy a license you should
consider the real costs associated with
the usage of the software in the whole
life-cycle of a product or project. In the
case of "one-time" license purchase one
often forgets about many expenses
related parties such as the purchase of
equipment and its long-term maintenance
costs of installation and implementation,
and then update or upgrade.

4. We must also remember that...
the technology used today, sooner or later
may be replaced by newer, and further
updates will not allow to continue work in
the program what force us to replace the
entire environment, including hardware
and software, causing a large unexpected
expense and the deterioration of business
liquidity . Thus, perhaps is it time to think
about services provided by the network,
available eg. via a web browser?

5. In case of subscription solutions we pay a
periodic fee and we must have an access to
the Internet. It is easy to calculate the
monthly, annual and perennial cost.
At the same time
we do not have any other worries, such as
hardware failures, outdated functionality or
need to employ skilled IT professionals. In
return, we have unlimited access to all
current business tools, professional-
protected content, often as part of a
package we can rely on extra remote help.

6. In addition, cloud-based systems are easily
scalable. It is all for a fixed monthly or other
periodic, predictable fee – similar to leasing,
software rental, but contrary to vehicle
leasing – the lessor almost daily presents the
latest version of the software instead of the
latest model of the car.
Such things are possible
only in the cloud!

7. Security of confidential data
Concerns about entrusting and storage of
the confidential data, often essential to
the business, on the resources physically
located outside the company seem at first
glance justified. Further analysis may,
however, lead to the conclusion that in
fact our data sewn into cloud-based
services are more protected and safe.

8. This is due to the fact that the service
provider has a professional team and
tools for ongoing security and risk
monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
52 days a year, as opposed to its own
servers security that rely on knowledge,
experience, and, above all, the
engagement of the employees.
Confidential data stored on own servers
are much more at risk of leakage due to
negligence of staff, hackers rather than
stored in secure data centers.

9. Customs and habits
In conclusion, the expenses associated
with using cloud solutions are more
predictable and flexible to use than
stationary solutions with a single license.
I did not even realize how often we use
similar solutions in private life, not only in
relation to material resources, such as
periodic rent of equipment, but also
intangible assets, including services or
software. Even using e-mail, many people
use external service providers.

10. Similarly, with the access to many
electronic services that due to the scale
and dispersion would not be possible
without the use of cloud-based solutions.
The only reason for the lack of interest in
these types of applications tend to be
existing habits to have something on the
property or unreasonable fear of the
unknown solution.

11. Therefore it is good to have a choice,
then you should consider new
solutions and possibilities and decider
what is more profitable from the point
of view of the business benefits and
return on investment throughout the
whole period of use.
