2.6Working or storing items in the cloud

Using the cloud to store information has changed how organisation’s operate as it optimises their internal resources and delivers value to customers. It allows everyone to work in remote areas but still have access to the information they need to provide a product or service. Organisations moving to the cloud can innovate quickly, scale efficiently and even bring new market capabilities faster. This has allowed small businesses access to resources that they would not have been able to afford in the past and has evened out the playing field with bigger companies.
