thinkCube passes down benefits of cloud computing to SMBs

The non-IT person has long wondered what cloud computing is and how they could benefit from the advantages it offers. Here’s a brief on how thinkCube passes on the benefits of cloud computing to its growing client base of business owners.
Cloud computing is another term for centralized computing. But since the term ‘centralized computing’ lacks the flair and ambition that centralized computing really is, the term cloud computing is used as it sort of acknowledges and gives recognition to the scale of work this type of computing offers. Making use of cloud computing is like getting an electricity connection from your local or national energy provider. The energy provider or the Electricity Board (in the Sri Lankan context) does all the magic and hard work that is required to turn fuels into usable energy. The consumer has to only pay for how much energy or electricity consumed.
Similarly thinkCube has developed a centralized business computing solution (visit www.ezbizapp.com/signup) and is opening this service to small and medium businesses (SMBs) that need to shed unnecessary operating expenses and focus on growth. The business solution currently offers three main modules that are critical to operating almost any sort of business. The modules are purchases management, inventory management and sales management. A point of sale (POS) module, complete with ability to accept payments via credit cards is also available.
The icing on the cake however, is the pricing for this modern business solution. Since it is a cloud-based business solution, users are offered the option of paying as their business grows.
For example, if you are starting a business, you may be the only person using the business solution. Therefore, you would pay for only one user, thus keeping your operational costs at a bare minimum. Once you have proved your business model, you may want to expand to achieve sustainable growth. At this point you may want to hire a couple other team members to assist you with operations. Now you can create a couple more user accounts for your business. You don’t have to invest or tie up your money in IT systems that will take months to recover investments. This way the costs of your business solution only grow when your business grows. This lean growth model helps you grow your business at minimal operational costs.
