    Cloud computing provides several benefits for small businesses, including outsourcing IT functions as a service to reduce costs and improve security and reliability. It allows access to information from any device with internet access, enabling worker mobility and business continuity even during disasters through near 100% uptime and instant recovery. By hosting email, documents and other services in the cloud, small businesses can reduce IT expenses, data vulnerabilities, and downtime compared to maintaining their own on-site systems. A case study of a small business adopting cloud computing showed how it improved access, security, and reduced costs.
