Hello everyone! (Sorry for the late post! Still getting the hang of being a new mom.)
When it comes to comparing and contrasting the services and opportunities that the
cloud provides for business owners as well as the safety and susceptibility of the content that resides on the cloud, I can say that scalability, cost efficiency, accessibility, and flexibility are the major factors.
Services allow businesses to be able to scale their operations either up or down easily according to their specific needs. This also means that they can adapt quickly
to the ever-changing demands without an upfront investment in infrastructure. Cloud computing eliminates the need for businesses to invest in expensive hardware or software as well. They can instead look for a subscription-based model therefore paying only for the resources that they are using. When it comes to accessibility the cloud enables remote access to data as well as applications from anywhere with the Internet connection. This houses remote work and collaboration among employees. When it comes to flexibility that cloud services offer a wider range of tools and applications that can be tailored to specific business needs as well as allowing businesses to be able to adapt to new technologies more quickly.
Look at the safety and susceptibility of content on the cloud, data security, data breaches, and depending on providers factor in.
Some positive implications would be increasing efficiency and productivity as well as access to advanced technology and resources and some potential negative aspects would be dependency on a third-party provider and the possibility of data being lost or downtime due to provider issues. When making a comparison and giving a conclusion both the positive aspects as well as the potential negative aspects of cloud computing are significant. When it comes to the positive aspect it offers businesses more opportunities for growth as well as saving but that also comes with the risk of data security as well as depending on external providers. Either way when it comes to the positive outweighs the negative it all depends on the individual needs as well as being able to take risks and effectively create a strategy to counter (Secure Stroage Services 2014).
When it comes to how does cutting edge technology impacts how people work it factors in enhancing communication as well as being able to create innovative solutions. An example of this would be the use of AI for marketing (D. Grewal. 2021)
