Advantages of cloud over on-premises solutions

For those who are unfamiliar, I want to recall that, On-premises solutions usually require an initial investment such as servers, hardware, and power backup. In effect, in addition, it is also necessary to have an experienced IT staff for the maintenance of the hardware and to ensure the system functions on a consistent basis.

In cloud-based solution, the initial investment is much lower as compared with the on-premises solution. 

The cloud-based infrastructure is hosted and maintained by the vendor, and the users can access the solution using a web browser with an Internet connection. Hence, the cost of implementing cloud-based solution is lower than the cost of on-premises solutions.
