Reaching for the skies? Let cloud computing help, with compelling business reasons why this new technology can assist your practice

Cloud computing is a lot more than just the latest buzzword from the IT world. Listen to Simon Foster of Shoeboxed Australia and you'll hear that there are many advantages to putting your computer system in the clouds. Fora start, you'll start avoiding upfront charges for buying a server, Windows, application software, not to mention the cost of an IT person to manage it all. Sure, there are control and security issues but but these are easily managed by selecting your provider sensibly - and it's all a great deal safer for business continuity if your practice is hit by some form of business disruption. Take the example of the Christchurch earthquake, Simon says - a dramatic example maybe,but nonetheless,a good way to illustrate how cloud computing can make a difference.
