5 advantages of cloud accounting

More and more companies are hosting their accounting in the cloud. And this is reasonable because the advantages of cloud accounting dismiss all the doubts.

Even if the Finance Department works smoothly and efficiently, slow operation of specialized apps and unstable access can affect the entire company`s productivity. To reduce the risks and cost of IT equipment, you can transfer accounting to virtual servers.

What is accounting in the cloud? In this article, we are going to consider the benefits of hosting accounting in the cloud.

Accounting in the cloud is the transfer of specialized accounting software, individual applications, financial accounting programs (for example, 1C: Enterprise), reporting (for example M.E.Doc), client-bank applications to the remote servers in the cloud. In the cloud, you can also host other programs that are necessary for your work, such as CRM, ERP systems, and corporate mail. Also, in the cloud, you can host documents, archives, additional files, and so on.

For example, with the cloud services from Tucha, data can be placed outside the office both in Ukraine and abroad (mainly in Germany).

First of all, storing accounting data and programs on local computers is related to data security. The use of physical servers increases the risks of access to confidential information by intruders and unauthorized persons. Also, if you place your accounting on the servers in the office, it requires significant investments into the IT infrastructure: purchase, replacement, and modernization of equipment, having of a specialist, and so on. Finally, physical servers depend on a stable power supply and are not protected from force majeure. The cloud will help you avoid these risks.
