Cloud-Based Analytics for Small Businesses

 Cloud-Based Analytics for Small Businesses





Hello again, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed last weeks blog on Saas ERP systems for SME's, if you haven't gotten around to giving it a read please follow the link i have attached just here. 

First of all, lets look at what Cloud Based Analytics is. According to, NETApps What is Cloud Analytics? It is the application of analytic algorithms in the cloud against data in the private or public cloud to then deliver a result of interest. I will discuss this further in the context of a small business so everyone can understand👊.

Lets look at why a small business may use this form of analysis...

1. Cost-Effectiveness


One of the greatest advantages of cloud-based analytics is its affordability. Small businesses can use subscription-based models, reducing their costs and stopping the need for big investements in expensive IT. Check out Microsoft Power BI this platform turns your data into visuals with advanced visual tools, AI Capabilities and a user friendly report creation tool.

2. Scalability


As a small business grows, data needs also grow. Cloud-based solutions are highly scalable, allowing  businesses to increase their data processing ability without significant investment in new infrastructure. You can start small and expand your analytics capabilities as your business demands grow.

3. Accessibility and Collaboration

Cloud-based solutions offer the flexibility to access data from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This is particularly beneficial for small teams or businesses with remote employees. Additionally, multiple users can collaborate in real time, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and enabling faster decision-making.

Ultimately, Cloud-Based analytics for small enterprises help to level the playing field between SME's and large corporations in terms of data use.

I hope you all enjoyed today's blog and please leave whichever feedback you may have in the comments below ;)

 My First Blog Post Jack Deegan Introduction Hello, everyone! My name is Jack Deegan, I am a final year Accounting student currently living and studying in Waterford, Ireland. I have recently just came home from a Summer of travelling in Canada, where I was immersed in a new culture on the opposite side of the world. It was amazing to see what Canada had to offer such as; their wildlife, landscape and everyone's enthusiasm for the outdoors. I believe that this trip allowed me to grow up very quickly as I didn't have my parents to rely on for everyday essentials and had to fend for myself which empowered me. This gave me a great sense of independence.
