The #1 issue that comes to mind for wholesale distributors when the Cloud is mentioned for hosting their business system is security of business data. Security in the cloud can best be assured with compliance to safeguards designed to protect data.
Most business people think their data is more secure on their premises than in the cloud, especially from electronic invasion or malware. With open portals for multiple mobile devices, obsolete or ineffective anti-malware software, and unsecured server rooms, most on-site data is not as secure as it is with a host.
