3.2.1: Cloud Services
Opening up the Latest Technology to SMEs Other Information:
Recently, cloud services have gained attention in the IT world. In cloud computing, specialist enterprises administer and
maintain the IT system and data located on one side of the Internet. The users on the other side access the required service
using their computers, when required. The biggest merits of cloud services for SMEs are that they can computerize without
purchasing expensive IT systems, and do not have the burden of developing and operating their own systems. However, the method
of applying cloud services to their business, security, and other issues need to be addressed. IPA gathers information about
the use of cloud services for SMEs and publishes it on the website with the expectation that this information will further
stimulate the computerization of SMEs. For more details on the Guide to Safe Cloud Service Use for SMEs and Cloud Enterprise
