Document Summary

Mis 301- lecture 3. 2 - cloud computing continued. Ex: google docs is basically free, regardless of how much you: accessible from any computer use it. Companies don"t have to deal with servers/tech stuff: facilitates working collaboratively. Makes it easier to link resources and communicate. Not always specific enough for every individual business use. No need to worry about hardware: can be used for deployment publicly or privately. Lots to handle but more opportunities are provided: development options over multiple platforms. Can test to see if your product works on windows 10 and ios and others, etc: ensures higher level of security, accessible from anywhere. If a small firm with limited employees, upgrading can take lots of time and resources. Also, increases chance of errors: maintenance of tools, database systems, upgrades, etc, security might not be enough for specific business needs, speed can be slower than desired.
