In a matter of five days, American businesses and businesses around the globe shut their storefronts and locked their corporate offices in trade for virtual conferencing and remote working situations. But cloud-based companies like Id Bookkeeper are soaring, wondering why the rest of the world hasn’t caught up.

Cloud-based work has been the way of the future for the past decade and it appears that the world is just beginning to catch up to speed, albeit by force. Undoubtedly, their discoveries of remote work through the cloud will change the way business is conducted.

Recently, our partners at Design Manager shared exactly why business models like ours have been incredibly successful:

Cloud computing is defined as the delivery of services and applications through the Internet. Before the invention of cloud computing, all files and software applications had to be stored in a physical location that was in the same place as the computers using those applications, like the hard drive on your laptop or desktop. Cloud computing lets users access a network, files, and software applications from anywhere they can access the internet, because the data and applications are being stored in a virtual warehouse rather than a physical disk, hard-drive, or server. Services like Google Docs and Dropbox are cloud-based applications.

Design Manager has believed in cloud technology from the very beginning and still believes that cloud computing is best for business, affording the flexibility to work from anywhere with an internet connection. With Design Manager’s cloud offering, users have un-compromised access to their project data and financial records and planning tools, helping to get back to generating cash flow as quickly as possible.
