ADVANTAGE • Cost reduction: There is no need to acquire hardware and software which reduces operating costs in infrastructure, maintenance and energy. In short, we use the cloud in ved to hire a server for installation and maintenance. • Flexibility: The cloud service is paid according to the demand. If, for example, a company on the thirties increases the movement of its accounting and financial area by payments to employees and suppliers, it may decide that it requires greater capacity for processing or storage of data, and will pay for greater demand, but only the day 30. • Mobility: The data of a company when staying in the cloud can be consulted by employees from anywhere. Due to this, we are suffering from an independence of the physical workplace and our computer; what we call teleworking • Ecology: Using the cloud in a company reduces the carbon footprint of a company by saving resources and components that go from being stored in physical components to being virtual. It also saves on energy consumption with its benefits to the environment. • Scalability: the price to expand the platform (more capacity, power, etc.) is directly proportional to the expansion we need. A small company will buy one or two licenses while a larger company, which requires more power, will buy 100, 400 or 1000. • We save on equipment, because we will not have to worry if our equipment becomes obsolete or if it has to be changed, since the infrastructure is at the supplier's expense. • We also save efficiency in falls and backups, because the suppliers are really equipped to face possible contingencies.

DISADVANTAGES • Security: You must be very careful with the handling of information to avoid data being stolen by hackers or lost in security holes. • Privacy: Confidential and sensitive data such as marketing plans, product launches, personal information of employees, financial data may be left to third parties if preventive measures are not taken. • Connectivity: The speed of access to information and the availability of applications depend on the speed of the internet connection. Without Internet access there is no Cloud Computing and this service can fall at any time due to various factors. • We depend completely on the supplier and the good use of its infrastructures, as well as its backup and update policies.
