Genuine reasons.
ACCESS FROM ANYWHERE
Work is not tied to one location or device.
NO HARDWARE TO MAINTAIN
No server failing on a Friday evening.
CAPACITY THAT ADJUSTS
Add resources when demand rises, reduce them when it falls.
FASTER TO START
A service running in minutes rather than weeks.
SOMEONE ELSE HANDLES INFRASTRUCTURE
Power, cooling, hardware replacement, physical security.
THAT MATTERS PARTICULARLY HERE
Reliable power and cooling for on-site equipment is a real cost and a real risk.
CONTINUITY
Systems that survive a problem at your premises.
WHAT ARE NOT GOOD REASONS
Because it is modern Because a competitor did Because a supplier recommended it without understanding your situation
WHAT TO ESTABLISH
What problem you are solving.
If you cannot state one, the move is unlikely to pay.
