What is a Cloud Service?
A cloud service is a type of IT service provided over the internet. Instead of running and managing software or infrastructure locally on your own servers, businesses can use cloud services to access various resources and functions through the cloud. This can include cloud storage, cloud infrastructure, cloud applications, and cloud analytics. Cloud services offer benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness while freeing the company from having to manage the technical infrastructure themselves.
Cloud-based Business System
A cloud-based business system, also known as a cloud-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), provides services via the cloud. Instead of running and managing the business system locally on your company's own servers and infrastructure, all business-related data is stored and managed in the cloud. Users can then access the system and its functionalities via web browsers or apps.
