What is Cloud Software?
At a basic level, cloud software is built on the low-cost, high-powered data centers available online. In the business world, almost 60% of companies are already in the cloud with an additional 20% planning to be there within the next 12 months.
But the greatest upside to cloud technology is that cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Rackspace invest billions of dollars each year in research and development of cloud platforms, providing more robust services and security than any company or law firm can hope to provide.
For example, Microsoft recently announced it spent 90 percent, or $8.64 billion, of its $9.6 billion R & D budget on cloud services. Thanks to those investments, cloud-computing (also called SaaS) eDiscovery systems cost about 35 percent less than solutions that are hosted in-house. That’s just scratching the surface of cloud computing. Grab the download to learn more.
