The cloud can be used to rapidly deploy new applications across an organisation , centralise information securely and give access to business applications from anywhere . It will be imperative for CIOs to provide cloud-based tools to enable employees to collaborate and always be efficient , even remotely . One of the key advantages of cloud systems is that they offer companies a level of resilience that they could not possibly fund for an on-site infrastructure , which is essential in today ’ s business environment .
Cloud technology allows businesses to work smarter , rather than harder , to achieve desired outcomes – whether they be rapidly deploying new services to help employees be more productive or providing new customer experiences . A cloud application provider is also working to constantly improve the services and applications they offer , with each update instantly available to every user worldwide .
