## Why should I choose a cloud-based software instead of an on-premises system?

Cloud systems protect your network from downtime by distributing components across servers. The cloud system is centrally monitored and controlled so you don’t have to worry about security, operating system, or software updates, and cloud system data is backed-up more regularly and stored longer without size restrictions. With cloud software, you can access your data from anywhere on any internet-enabled device.
