The Benefits of OMI Managed Communications in the Cloud

A silver lining for client communications
There is a lot of excitement about "Cloud Computing" these days; an Internet-based computing architecture where Web-based servers provide resources, software, and data to computers on-demand. The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet. Better yet, think of it as the information age equivalent to the electricity "grid." You pay a provider only for what you use and you have no responsibility to build or maintain the infrastructure required to deliver the service.
Cloud Computing offers a number of important benefits. You can access software in the Cloud through a Web browser as if it were a program installed locally on your own computer; however, you are not on the hook for the capital expenditure to purchase, install and maintain the software required for the process. This is in direct opposition to the conventional method of purchasing application software, licensing each user, and maintaining the various upgrades and versions.
Managing your client communications in the Cloud with Statement2Web provides a higher degree of agility along with significant savings. By virtue of "the Cloud," you no longer need to maintain onsite software, train your staff or hassle with the technical infrastructure.
