By now, practically everyone has interacted with cloud computing in some way or another. It has evolved from being a niche technology to a popular fad and is now a mainstay both inside and outside of the enterprise. Despite being so commonly used by employees, some businesses continue to be hesitant about adopting the technology. Either out of fear of complexity, security or just change in general, there are still organizations that have not adopted the cloud. However, a growing number of reports have shown that the benefits provided by the cloud do exist, and the companies that are experiencing them are gaining a competitive advantage.
Improve security:
A common factor many people use when trying to explain why they do not use the cloud is that it is not safe enough to handle today's security threats. However, working with an experienced cloud provider can actually help businesses to increase their overall security. While an enterprise's internal IT staff has numerous business critical functions to focus on, cloud providers are solely focused on creating a safe, reliable and productive environment for their clients.
Scale computing needs as necessary:
Eventually every company will need to grow hopefully, but when and how much can be difficult to predict. Cloud computing offers users the ability to easily add capacity as business is expanding to meet growing demand without having to know about the necessary changes far in advance.
Avoid unexpected equipment costs:
Implementing a cloud solution allows organizations to improve their control over computing-related costs while also quantifying monthly overhead. Irregular, large expenditures for new servers or other computing needs can be avoided by working in the cloud, as service providers will make the necessary systems available to you.
The cloud offers businesses a variety of competitive benefits.Aside from the improved security and cost-effectiveness offered by the cloud, a major benefit of deploying a cloud platform is being able to access the added services that come along with it.
One of those added features is Fax over IP.
FoIP services take the best parts of the cloud to provide users with enhanced communication capabilities and other essential business functions. FoIP enables businesses to send faxes over the Internet and have the content of their messages stored on a secure cloud server. Sent messages are archived and encrypted, allowing an organization to go back and find any important information they may need.

Utilizing a FoIP solution can also add to the cost benefits already available from cloud computing. FoIP eliminates the need for a dedicated fax line, making expensive payments to the phone company a thing of the past. Fax over IP provider FaxCore can also enable an existing fax machine to be FoIP-capable, saving money on new, expensive equipment.
