Moreover, its helping organizations to save up to 40% (OPEX and CAPEX) by eliminating the cost of owning traditional PC/Server environments. Also, helps in Increasing energy efficiency by 80% through virtual servers and virtual desktops. Addition to this. cloud computing also eliminates the cost of purchasing, supporting, and upgrading equipment and software. Isn’t this so flexible that you pay only for the benefits and applications you need in a low, monthly rate – nothing more.

Doubtlessly, Cloud is Here to Stay!

The fact we can add and/or remove a remote user at the click of the mouse will have an immediate effect on our bottom line. The folks over at WorkSpace Communications who provide our help desk tell us that deployment of new users will be reduced by 60% along with substantial increase in resolving remote support issues. Microsoft Office has become so entrenched within our organization we could not move to any other application without causing a total collapse of our operations. I’m happy to see Microsoft moving more aggressively to the cloud and look forward to a long and now lower cost solution.
