The Cloud and How It Can Benefit Your Firm

Accountants and bookkeepers have something very important in common with the rest of the world. These professionals now rely on the cloud as one of the most valuable technologies at their disposal.

There’s no question cloud technology has permeated every area of business. In the United States, for instance, cloud services company RightScale found hybrid cloud adoption rose from 58 percent in 2015 to 71 percent in 2016.

Keep in mind that, by way of definition, RightScale further defines a hybrid cloud as something that spans at least one public cloud (an on-demand, pay-as-you go service accessible over the public Internet, like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure) and at least one private cloud (which typically serves the needs of a single organization and is often purpose-built to fit a particular infrastructure and use case).
