Strengths of Cloud Computing for DWIH

A mid-sized accounting firm probably does not have a dedicated department for IT, by integrating cloud computing, one no longer has to invest in the extensive hardware, staff, and implementation expertise to support a decent IT system. Cloud computing also negates the need for updating to the newest software and hardware, as it is managed by the web application itself.

Also, in the audit practice, accountants need to be mobile. With cloud computing, after storing client data online, it'll be available anywhere in the world, with the press of a key. By having these data in a secure environment online, it also serves as a secondary backup that can be constantly updated, in case anything happens

Also, there are numerous SME that have chosen to implement cloud computing into their operations. The accounting firm that understands cloud computing and uses it within their own business would certainly be the top choice for these potential customers.

Most importantly, the benefits provided by cloud computing are often followed by the words, "with lower costs".
