Cloud FAQ #47: How Do SMBs Use The Cloud?

Cloud FAQ #47: What are the most common uses of the cloud for a small business? For many SMBs, using the cloud to get access to applications (SaaS) is a popular option. With SaaS, SMBs can acquire a range of applications, ranging from business productivity apps like email and collaboration tools, to mission-critical apps like CRM and ERP without making significant investments in hardware and software licenses. Another option that appeals to SMBs is infrastructure-as-a-service — using the cloud to gain access to storage, memory and CPUs on an as-needed basis. For both applications and infrastructure, the cloud offers your SMB customers IT resources on par to what larger organizations have, without the upfront investments and ongoing costs. That offers more flexibility for your SMB customer and more room for margin for you. For more cloud info visit www.channelprosmb.com/cloud
