Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is ‘the cloud’?

Cloud computing can be confusing if you don’t understand the basics. Simply put, cloud computing is when you store data on online servers as opposed to the traditional method of storing data on hardware within the office. But cloud computing offers more than just data storage. It allows for multiple parties to access various parts of the cloud and allow for streamlined project coordination.
