You are an entrepreneur focused on the development of your business. What do you associate with the term cloud? We know from experience that usually the most intuitive answer is: infrastructure, a good place to move the company’s servers. The advantage of the cloud is the lack of the need to incur hardware costs at the very beginning, shifting costs from capex to opex. Anything else?
