Cloud computing 'great for cutting costs'

People must consider the savings they can make with cloud computing, it is believed.

Matt Wallach, in a piece for Pharmaceutical Executive, said that cloud computing is a "witty term" for the process involving the online hosting of software, thus removing it from the desktop and allowing a service provider to manage the asset.

He continued: "This service allows companies to make updates, alleviate glitches and manage software from any location from one computer, rather than run around to every system and make changes locally."

Business management software such as project management software is able to lower costs associated with legacy systems as there is no hardware to buy or install, while a lack of onsite software for maintenance or updates is another bonus, Mr Wallach continued.

Cloud computing systems are much faster and thus less expensive to implement, he added, with parallel configuration allowing project team members can log in and start working on day one.

Merrin Muxlow of Resource Nation also complimented hosted software this month for its ability to take account for fluctuations in employee numbers due to the subscription nature of such offerings.
