Using cloud technology is no longer an industry issue

The way cloud systems are used and integrated may vary from industry to industry, but it doesn’t mean that some companies should dismiss cloud. In fact, more and more companies are recognising and integrating cloud technology into their daily operations. Some companies offer even their services in the cloud. Among them, the fifty most successful cloud technology providers in Hungary were also listed by Forbes. E-commerce, finance, agriculture, health and IT companies, from start-ups to large companies are all represented on the list, which also reflects the wide range of use of cloud services.

Below is a brief overview of the benefits of using the cloud in different industries.

 One of the industries that can benefit the most of cloud technology is the automotive industry where cloud technology can be used to improve analytics, maximise uptime, improve quality and optimise machine productivity. Then, health industry is also a key user. With IoT, the cloud enables a more efficient management of changing networks and usage patterns thanks to data collected from predictive analytics. In addition, banking institutions often use cloud computing to provide automated credit risk analysis and to increase the efficiency of credit or other transactional processes. For retailers a cloud system can provide valuable insights into customer behaviour, including customers’ buying habits, that empowers retailers to provide a personalised shopping experience to customers that can positively impact sales results. In addition, with cloud solutions, supply chain management companies and construction companies can provide access to the system to users in different locations, working from different devices that which can be particularly important for logistics and construction companies, but might be an asset also in any other industry.
