Cloud-based systems rely on network servers, enabling you to store information in one central location accessible from anywhere.
Join us as we explore the advantages of integrating a cloud-based solution into your asset management practices.
Let’s have a glance at the numerous benefits of cloud-based solutions
- Accessibility: If cloud-based systems are in place, it enables you to have a database in one place, accessible anytime, anywhere, and from any mobile device with internet connectivity. This is a suitable solution for employees working from multiple sites.

-
. High security with low cost: Cloud-based solution provides enhanced security measures comprising of data encryption, automatic information backups, and compliance with industry standards.
As per the article published by cloud computing expert David Linthicum on InfoWorld.com, he put forth that cloud hosting has become a safer space due to huge R&D funds invested which has significantly improved cloud security systems. Moreover, according to him “the use of AI with security, which is mostly driven by the cloud, has given cloud security an upper hand in finding and eliminating vulnerabilities – and getting automatically smarter while doing it.”
What’s even better is that cloud provides maximum security to your database for lower prices.
-
Cost control: The price structure of cloud-based services is subscription-based. The price covers services such as regular updates and maintenance support. You do not need to invest in expensive private cloud infrastructure and in-house IT services.
-
Traceability: At cloud hosting, all assets linked to the database are tracked at all times. Your data is stored in one single location linked with cloud. This feature of traceability helps prevent the loss of assets.

The app’s cloud-powered software can store unlimited assets, users, and records, all linked to a central license.The software and cloud space can scale up or scale down in line with the demands of businesses and you only pay a monthly fee for the service you use. This eliminates the need for costly servers and firewalls.
Since it is cloud-based, every asset tagged can tracked in real time and with absolute transparency. The user action whether check-in or check-out of the asset is automatically backed up so no information is lost on the way. Management can create quick automatic reports on asset movement on specified periods.
