Companies that switch to the cloud often save significantly on IT operations costs since cloud providers manage maintenance and upgrades. Instead of focusing on keeping things running, businesses can devote more resources to their most pressing business demands, such as developing new services or upgrading existing ones.

Cloud computing can readily scale up to accommodate larger workloads and much more users than on-premise infrastructure, which requires enterprises to acquire and set up more physical servers, networking equipment, or software licenses.

Users, whether employees or customers, can access the cloud services and data they need from anywhere. This makes it easier for a company to expand into new markets, offer its services to a global audience, and enable its workforce to work flexibly.
