Cloud Computing: While Security Remains Biggest Concern, Security Tops List as Reason to Implement Cloud
A new study on cloud computing use by small and medium sized companies from Exact and Pb7 Research finds two surprising results.
The first has to do with security. Typically security is cited as the number one concern for why businesses avoid the cloud; but surprisingly, the Exact report found that security is also the number one reason cited by cloud adopters for choosing the cloud. It seems like some sort of love/hate relationship. The second interesting result is that, in general, businesses using the cloud are better off financially compared to peer businesses that aren’t using the cloud.
The top five reasons why businesses implement cloud software are as follows:
- 32 percent – Security
- 26 percent – Lower IT Costs
- 23 percent – Low maintenance requirements/no systems
- 23 percent – Easy mobile access
- 21 percent – More productivity/efficiency for end-users
The Exact report found that businesses that move to the cloud often realize as much as 25 percent higher growth revenue compared to peer companies that have not adopted the cloud. They also found a correlation between financial gain and cloud use. The more cloud-based software applications used, the better the financials of the company.

Most companies and big brands are available with multiple types of solutions and they also want to make their users happy so it’s better to think about the security instead of ignoring the usage of their solutions or software’s.
