First let's learn What is the cloud?

Cloud computing generally means accessing computer files or software programs from a server that is not physically in your office. (Accessed through an online connection). The server may be not far away from you or it could be thousands of miles from your premises.

The basic services that we use every day such as Gmail or Facebook, are based on the cloud. You can access them from any computer at any time.

The term "the cloud" occurred when the file storage services such as Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive and Box arrived on the scene.

These services allow you to store documents, photos, movies, scanned items, etc. in a network of remote servers, "the cloud", instead of your computer's hard drive or a server in your office

Information anywhere, in any screen.

Sharing company documents in a cloud-based program such as Dropbox means that your team can easily access them, even while traveling.

Cloud programs are also ideal for small business owners who often work from mobile devices, since they can access their information from wherever they are.

Currently the software that has been emerging for every need of your company such as accounting, billing, conference calls, among others, are based on the cloud.

Instead of investing in software licenses, IT personnel or other costs generated by having a physical server, in the cloud only pay for what you use, this means that you can scale according to your needs and pay only for the storage you use.

The cloud also helps prevent possible loss of information due to natural or physical disasters within your company, because when making important backups within the server, they will not be affected by these disasters.

In case of an emergency, you can access the information from wherever you are, from your mobile device or from a computer in an improvised office.

It is always advisable to make a backup periodically, a hard drive and keep it out of your office, in this way you will have access to your information in case your Internet connection or that of your provider is temporarily dropped.
