Making the move to the cloud makes sense for your business, but it’s important to understand that not all cloud organizations have the same standards. Consider the ten factors in this guide to ensure you pick the best cloud accounting provider.


 

What is a cloud provider?

The cloud is part of the internet. For example, cloud storage simply means storing your files on a company’s server, with a secure connection over the internet to your computer, smartphone or other device.

Cloud Providers are similar, but they let you run applications instead of just storing files. The advantage with cloud providers is that you don't need to keep everything on your own machine. You can log in from any device using a browser or an app, and have instant access to your software and business data.

But the field of cloud services is a relatively new business. Most of the smaller cloud service companies, and the cloud departments of larger organizations, are just a few years old. This can make it hard to judge which cloud service provider is right for you.

So to help you make that decision we've come up with 10 factors that your cloud service provider should be willing to share with you. We're concentrating on cloud-based accounting providers in this guide, but the points covered can be applied to other types of cloud service provider too.

1. Show that their systems are stable and robust

2. Demonstrate that their company is financially healthy

3. Make your information available across devices

4. Value their users and provide good support

5. Maintain good uptime

6. Have scalable infrastructure

7. Seamlessly integrate with third-party applications

8. Provide detailed billing plans

9. Confirm that you can have your own data at any time

10. Get everything in writing
