Cloud is a general term for services that allow access to
IT
resources such as databases, storage, and applications via the Internet.
Traditionally, in order to use databases and storage, it was necessary to develop them in-house, pay a large initial fee, and purchase them as a package. As a result, there are many cases where unnecessary costs are incurred due to purchasing over-spec products.
On the other hand, in the case of the cloud, a pay-as-you-go system is used where you use on-demand services and are billed only for the amount you use. Therefore, you can minimize the risk of paying unnecessary expenses as mentioned above, and you can use the service as much as you want, without excess or deficiency.
By using the cloud, you can view your company’s shared storage and use applications anywhere, without being tied to any device or location. This means that you no longer need to use a set device within your company to do your work.
In today’s world where
telework
and remote work are rapidly becoming popular, it is contributing to greatly increasing work efficiency and is becoming an indispensable tool.
Benefits of using the cloud
The benefits of using the cloud can be broadly divided into the following three points.
- unnecessary cost reduction
- Cut management costs and improve security
- Significantly improve operational efficiency
As mentioned earlier, cloud services are pay-as-you-go, so there is no need to pay unnecessary costs. Furthermore, you can change the width you use depending on the time, reducing costs, so you don’t have to waste money.
Additionally, not only financial costs but also human costs can be significantly reduced. This is because in the cloud, all systems and applications are managed by the vendor, so there is no need to allocate human resources to manage them in-house. Furthermore, the security is stable, so you can use it with confidence.
In addition, by reducing these costs, you can significantly improve operational efficiency. Since there are no unnecessary costs, it is possible to use human resources for other tasks.

Since there are no restrictions on location or time when using the cloud, each employee can work from home, which will prevent unnecessary losses of time and money.
Another big appeal of using the cloud is that employees do not have to gather in the same place, share work progress and work content, and can sometimes proceed at the same time.
