THE ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Abstract
Cloud computing is increasingly becoming a global reality in numerous sectors such as
hospitality, healthcare, tourism, and business organizations. The growth of business
organizations as well as the innovation of technology has continued to push both the small and
vast business establishments to embrace cloud computing in their operations.
Introduction
Cloud computing refers to the application of the interrelated remote computing resources
such as servers, storage services applications and computer networks that are hosted by the
processing data, internet storage and administration for individual enterprises with very minimal
managerial efforts (Deshmukh, 2017). It is important to know that cloud computing
infrastructure can under the private ownership of an individual as well as under the third-party
servers that are situated in the data center. The globalization has improved the demand for
physical space for more storage, reliable and convenient systems with reduced expenditure and
speed.
The use of cloud computing by different organizations has led to the realization of the
organization's basic needs and objectives (Deshmukh, 2017). For instance, it makes it easy to
access and retrieve data hence helping the management to reduce its efforts in the maintenance
of data infrastructure in the organization. It is an aspect that was confirmed by a study that was
conducted in the 90s (Deshmukh, 2017). The study showed that 6% of the organizations were
using cloud computing, however, with the continued realization of enhanced importance as well
as the advantages of cloud computing, the number of organizations using it has since grown to a
massive 60% today, and the name is still on the increase. Therefore, this paper discusses the

advantages of cloud computing in business organizations to enable such organizations to realize
their objectives.
The cloud computing has advantages that are characterized by the support from the
organization's top management, complexity, compatibility, competitiveness, trade partnerships,
size of the organization as well as technological readiness (The strategic importance of Cloud
Computing in business organizations). The process of including cloud computing in an
organization leads to advantages such as costs flexibility, technical benefits, innovation, strategic
goals, competitive advantages as well as cost-saving mechanisms in the organization (What is
Software as a Service (SaaS). The cloud computing technology is widely used in the hospitality
and travel industry to improve the various operations of the sector to contribute to more rivalry in
the digital management approach. The tactical cloud computing is characterized by three carriage
models such as software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) as well as the
platform as service (PaaS) and the strategic advantages of cloud computing in the business. The
importance of cloud computing is that it provides universal empowerment in the organization as
well as the access to computing assets like systems, stockpiling, servers and applications. They
help the organization to:
Software as a service (SaaS)
The SaaS service is a type of cloud technology distributed as software to the customers
over a third party host specifically through the internet (Technologies, 2017). It is vital to the
organizations because it eliminates the ability of the firm to install and also run applications on
the organization's data centers or computers. It is a model that enables the organization to use
apps that operates in the cloud framework of the service provider companies. The shoppers

and working frameworks. The SaaS software eliminates the ability of the different organization
to use multiple hardware or even install software hence eliminating the unnecessary expenses
