Four reasons to move to the cloud plus eight fast facts about Salesforce.com

More and more businesses are moving to the cloud, especially in the fields of customer relationship management, accounting, and HR.

According to Jenny Richards, a Salesforce expert, the major benefits of cloud computing are:

  1. Firms save money since they do not have to invest and manage software and hardware. This is, for instance, the responsibility of a vendor like Salesforce.com.
  2. Vendors like Salesforce.com have years of experience, meaning financial advisors and allied institutions get better solutions than they ever could from an in-house team.
  3. Cloud applications are easy to use. After opening a browser, users just log in using the credentials from the vendor, customize the app to match their specific requirements, and start using it.
  4. With cloud computing, the fact that users do not have to build the infrastructure means they can concentrate on enhancing the cloud computing application.

Richards says that Salesforce.com, with solutions like Salesforce data migrator, helps firms handle big data. Salesforce.com has several cloud solutions that could also be considered.
