Business Finance Homework Help

Cloud technology essentially is the ability to access and utilize System and Application Software via the internet hosted by a third party server. Even easier said, you are accessing and using features on another computer and using the internet to do it. This concept is revolutionizing because the need for personal hard drives and software installation will be obsolete. A device only needs a strong internet connection to access and utilize all of the features they need for business and personal reasons.

There are many cloud services out there and they all have their similarities and differences. Please watch the following video for a general overview of what the cloud is and how we can use it to make things much more efficient.What is “The Cloud” as Fast As Possible (Links to an external site.)
