But what does it all mean?<\/p>\n<p>Cloud computing refers to logging on to the internet via a hosted website to access and process your data, rather than using a local server (like your office computer). This means anywhere you can access the internet you can log in to your online account and get to work.<\/p>\n<p>A cloud computing service is also known as Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, and accounts management via the cloud is proving to be very popular for many Irish businesses who are seeking a more flexible and streamlined solution for their accounts management.<\/p>\n<p>What are the benefits of cloud computing software?<\/p>\n<p>Affordability \u2013 no initial capital is required to purchase expensive accounting software. Instead you pay a small monthly service fee which goes to your SaaS provider.<br \/>\nAccessibility \u2013 log in anywhere, anytime via your Mac, PC or other electronic device. All you need is an internet connection.<br \/>\nUnlimited data storage \u2013 your data is not held on your internal network so you\u2019re not constrained by the available storage on your hard drive.<br \/>\nContinuous service, no upgrade fees \u2013 You always operate on the latest version of the software that your SaaS provider supplies. Their software updates should happen automatically, without any cost or disruption to your service.<br \/>\nSecurity \u2013 SaaS providers, particularly those that specialise in account management, have extremely high security levels which must meet the requirements of ISO27001, which is the international standard for data security.<br \/>\nBig Red Cloud accounts software<\/p>\n<p>Big Red Cloud is a software as a service (SaaS) solution for Irish businesses of all sizes. Our software is accessible, easy to use, secure and efficient. Other benefits include: free telephone support, unlimited users, free access to your accountant, automatic back up, automatic upgrades and no transaction limits.<\/p>\n<p>Why not start our <a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/freetrial\/\">30 day free trial<\/a>\u00a0and see the difference it can make for your business?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days accountants are talking more and more about working \u2018in the cloud\u2019 and using cloud accounts software to run&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-accounting"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cloud Accounting Software - What is it?
