What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is a term used to describe software applications that run on the Internet instead of on your PC or device.

By using an internet connection to access your account, you can basically access your information from any smartphone, tablet or computer that has access to the internet. There is no longer a need to write down information on paper to later enter it into the computer. Simply enter the details on your smartphone right in the field. That information is automatically stored in the “cloud” and can be accessed later from any web enabled device or computer.

What are the advantages of Cloud Computing?

  • You don’t need to download software to your smartphone or computer because the program is stored offsite and is accessed through an internet connection.
     
  • Your information is safely stored in the cloud and is automatically backed up for safety. You don’t have to worry about your computer crashing or losing your smartphone. All the information is accessed through the internet in a safe and secure environment.
     
  • Multiple users can access the same information through a secure connection and password validation. Users can also use their existing desktop, smartphone or tablet provided it has access to the internet. No need to purchase a new device in order to use Field Tracker Pro.
