Advantages of Working on the Cloud

A funny trend I saw on Google Trends is that desktop search is becoming obsolete. Windows 8 almost didn't have a desktop search because the search is quite slow. Sure with a good fast computer that you work only on it is very important to have a good desktop search software to find the files you need to work fast at the office.

Now we work on the office when we are on the plane, taxi, waiting for something, on the tablet, mobile phone, home computer, office computer and much more. The desktop is probably becoming almost obsolete.

Now we work on the cloud. Most of the times it's free, we can upgrade for a small cost if we want and the best of all is we can work anywhere on it and share the files with people who work with us at the office, on the same file in real time. It's lovely, you have a team around the world and everyone is working on the same file at the same time. Something that was impossible just a few years ago.

That's what the cloud is all about.

Fast, easy, everyone working on the same file at the same time. No more emailing, no more out of date versions.

Working on the cloud only has the advantage of leaving the computer much faster and lighter. Usually there's nothing to install on your machine. Since all the work is done on the servers, all you need is to log and then you are working immediately. No more software to install, no more updates, no more waiting for the computer to boot. Actually if you work on the cloud only and the PC crashes or stops working, it's easy to format and have everything again about an hour later.

Another advantage for small or medium sized companies is being able to buy low cost computers. Even a Celeron can work fast because the CPU does not have to work very hard to get the work done on the cloud. Simply amazing.
