What is Cloud Computing?
A Simple Explanation in 1 Minute
Cloud computing allows you to store and access data and programs over the Internet instead of on your computer's hard drive. The "cloud" is essentially the internet. Everyday Examples: Using Google Drive or iCloud to save photos and documents, streaming movies on Netflix, or running software like Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Office 365 directly from the internet.
Key Benefits:
- Flexibility: Access information anytime, anywhere there's an internet connection
- Cost-effective: Save on expensive hardware and maintenance costs with pay-as-you-use models
- Scalability: Easily adjust resources based on your current needs, perfect for businesses of all sizes

Server location explained: Why local SAP Business One cloud hosting is important
Choosing the right location for your SAP Business One Cloud Hosting can be as important as picking the right hardware, software, and expertise. Location can be a dealbreaker for enterprise IT leaders who emphasise speed and reliability. Having a cloud data centre running your most critical applications near your users can lead to faster performance, better support availability, and superior connectivity. These benefits can have a significant bottom-line impact for cloud users.
Having a local support team that understands your needs and the cultural foundation of your organisation can be a greater value-add than many people realise. Just having a team working the same business hours as your office can mean the difference between a few minutes of downtime and losing an entire workday.
