Hosted VoIP and email are great communication tools. Infrastructure and Platform as a Service solutions empower organizations to leverage more flexible computing power. [Software](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/blog/why-is-it-super-important-to-keep-your-software-updated/ "Software") as a Service and hosted storage are available for all of your organization’s needs. In the end, you can get just as much done with [cloud](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/download-cloud-whitepaper/ "cloud") infrastructure as you can with onsite hardware. The [cloud](https://www.colemantechnologies.com/it-services/cloud-computing-services/cloud-it-solutions "cloud") allows for functionality and redundancy, no matter what the industry is or the kind of workforce it contains. These services can be utilized as needed and deployed quickly. ## The Drawbacks Cloud computing isn’t perfect. Businesses can create a private cloud system that can create large costs for their bottom line while also maintaining the control, management, and accessibility… but again, a lot of thought needs to be invested into this kind of solution. Environments that are hosted outside of a service provider can be difficult to control, since your organization doesn’t have control over the hardware it’s hosted on. A major drawback of cloud computing can actually be the cost. Since the IT infrastructure used to run the solutions is managed by the service provider, the price is adjusted accordingly. If your business needs a certain number of cloud licenses, you could see the cost of your solution rise. Plus, if you don’t cancel accounts when employees leave, you could be paying more for services that aren’t being utilized. Furthermore, imagine if your organization has teams assembled that need to use three or four cloud-based applications to complete a project. Think about all of the money that’s spent just providing access to the appropriate software solutions. If it’s not properly managed, your return on investment could be put in jeopardy. COMPANYNAME can help you keep track of your cloud-based resources, whether you’re just hitting the cloud environment, or you have an established presence in the cloud.
