Cloud Accounting
Book-keeping is fast becoming a key application to take advantage of the benefits that cloud hosting gives you.
As businesses continue to outsource their IT, and with MTD being phased in by HMRC, most have now reached the tipping point where the benefits of cloud hosting (the data, the software and the hardware infrastructure) now outweigh the perceived disadvantages:
Benefits
- Single set of data, facilitating shared (for multi location working or remote support purposes) and mobile access,
- Off-site data hosting/back-up,
- Improved efficiency,
- No infrastructure requirements,
- Seamless update and version control,
- Automatically scalable resource that matches requirement,
- Spread costs.
Perceived Disadvantages
- Security – although continually improving,
- Who’s data is it?
- Lock-in to ongoing monthly hire cost – although all (including locally hosted) software is moving to a similar annual licensing pricing model.
