Hurricane Season Signals Time to Move Atlantic Coast State and Local Government Data to Cloud Computing

With the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane season officially starting  tomorrow, June 1, it is timely for state and local governments to review data protection options. Cloud computing and related Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications provide data protection as the data is stored in remote, secure and multiple locations.

5 reasons to move your government agency to the cloud using SaaS applications:

  1. Cloud computing and SaaS applications have secure data.
  2. Cloud computing and SaaS applications can be accessed from any location with an Internet connection and computer.
  3. Cloud computing and SaaS applications don’t require additional in-house IT staff.
  4. Cloud computing and SaaS applications are less expensive than enterprise software.
  5. Cloud computing and SaaS applications have flexible monthly payment options.
