What are cloud-hosted applications and what do they mean for my business
A cloud-hosted application is a piece of hosted software as a service (SaaS) that enables users to utilise a software application that is hosted in the cloud on a subscription basis. Put simply, cloud-hosted applications are hosted on a cloud infrastructure that users can access through the internet, from anywhere in the world.
Having your business applications hosted with a cloud-hosted solution gives you the ability to meet the potential growth of your business with seamless upgrades, eliminating the costs associated with traditional client-server software upgrades.

Benefits of cloud-hosted applications
