What Is Cloud Computing?
High-Performance Business Software Solutions
Cloud computing is basically using shared services / storage (generally online) to accomplish some (or all) of your regular tasks. Instead of physically having a piece of software installed on each machine in your office, or physically saving a document multiple times on each of your machines, these tools and resources are used remotely through a cloud service that you pay a monthly service for.
Cloud computing can help you accomplish many tasks related to your business. For instance, there are very popular and trusted cloud computing solutions for:
- Image / Document / Video Storage & Sharing
- Accounting / Payroll Services
- Project Management
- Ecommerce Management
- Sales / CRM
- Human Resources
- Team Communications / Scheduling
And, that is just the beginning. Today, there is basically a cloud computing solution for nearly every business challenge you might be facing. Xorca is here to provide IT consulting for small businesses and help them choose the right cloud computing platforms to achieve their goals.

How Can Cloud Computing Help Small Businesses?
There are a variety of ways that cloud computing can help small businesses (including yours) - perhaps even ways that you hadn't thought of before. Here are the 5 most common benefits that cloud computing has for small and medium sized businesses in Ithaca, NY.
Lower Operating Costs
It may not seem like adding a new monthly cost would actually save your business money. However, with the right cloud computing tools, this is often the case. From a lessened reliance on internal IT departments / staff, to speeding up internal communications and team collaboration, the right cloud computing services can dramatically reduce your operating costs, while allowing your business to continue to grow towards your target objectives.
Ease Of Access
When you use cloud computing tools for your business, you, and the members of your team you give access, will be able to access their work anywhere, anytime, from a variety of devices that you give access to the services. This is a significant advantage when a last minute change comes through, or an after-hours email needs to be answered urgently.
Increased Collaboration
Cloud computing solutions eliminate the old way of sharing documents between team members: one person saves their documents and emails it to another, who makes changes / revisions / updates, and then sends it back (or onto another team member) - and on into infinity. Cloud tools and storage make your documents available at all times in their most updated form to every team member who needs access to them - and lockout technology makes sure that changes from one user are not ignored while the document is being worked on by another team member.
Reduced Security Risks
The top cloud computing services spend millions of dollars a year on their security - just to ensure that your data is safe and secure within their environment. In fact, your data and documents are almost certainly more secure within their servers than on your own hardware that is connected to the internet and potentially not protected by the most up-to-date firewalls and VPNs.
Increased Efficiency
All of this will dramatically increase your team's efficiency. Tasks (especially collaborative ones) that once took hours (or even days) to make it through the endless chain of team members who need to provide input, feedback, or contribute data, can now be taken care of in minutes. You will get more work, and a higher return out of your team than ever before.
What Businesses Use Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is rather ubiquitous today. And companies of every type, shape, and size use it on a daily basis for their core business functions. Some of the key users of cloud computing in the small business world today, include:
- Real estate agents
- Banks
- Financial planners
- Medical offices
- Schools
- Non-Profit organizations
- & many, many more
