This will also mean a significant cost reduction for the company, reflected in fewer IT employees and associated costs.The second advantage for the company is accessibility. In many occasions, such online storage facilities allow the users to access a certain application from any computer with an Internet connection. This means that there is no need to actually install the software on each machine in part, as well as the fact that such an online environment will also encourage an increased collaboration between employees.
