Will the pandemic accelerate the shift to the cloud?

The present Covid-19 pandemic has radically altered the way of doing business in the world. Brick and mortar establishments have imposed social distancing in their shops to stop the spread of the virus. As a result, fewer people are going out and more of them are doing their business online.Cloud computing can produce modern business advantages, allowing multiple users to view data in real-time and to share projects effortlessly. Cloud software and SaaS applications (software as a service platform) make working as a synchronized team easier and more accessible than ever.

To put it simply, cloud computing is computing based on the internet, and shifting to the cloud is the best way to ensure the business stays both current and competitive.

Previously, people would run applications or programs from software downloaded on a physical computer or server in their facility. Now, with cloud computing, there’s no need to download. Instead, they have access to all the same services online from anywhere and can see updates in real-time. By 2020, Forbes Magazine estimated up to 83% of companies will use cloud-based software to make their work easier and faster.
