Maximizes Value
Cloud vendors generally offer support for diverse business needs like front and back-office software and CRM solutions, and some even have SME-specific solutions that are built to tailor individual SME's business needs. SMEs have the option to discover, compare, and buy software from the marketplace created by cloud for SaaS and IaaS applications, and pay according to the use of the model. Cloud eases many other voice services like voice mail, conference calling, which saves the cost of employing a round-the-clock operator.
• Privacy Concerns
With greater use of cloud services comes a higher risk of privacy threats. The fear of data breaches, accounts hijacks, and malware injections always hover over the SMEs who utilize cloud technology as their information is easily vulnerable to malicious attacks. This can be avoided by giving due importance in the selection of the cloud service provider as noted, and established providers have higher security and privacy setups. Moreover, it is essential to note that security is a shared responsibility of the provider and the customer. Giving cloud service providers the responsibility to secure your data adds an extra level of authentication layer hence making it a more secure one.
• Democratizing Enterprises
Cloud technology has made the accessibility of data a familiar concept for everyone. It doesn't matter how remote you move; if you have an active internet connection, you can manage the organization sitting right there. Even stakeholders now have access to any data, which were earlier kept safe under lock and key and were only available in physical locations and at particular times.
