Cloud computing is seeing a major increase in acceptance as a way to increase efficiency and client engagement, with 90% of accountancy practices either using cloud applications or considering them in the near future.
At the recent IRIS World 2013 conference series we surveyed 300 accountancy practices to find out how they feel about the cloud and cloud solutions.
31% of the practices surveyed said they had already moved some of their workload to the cloud and were planning to move more, while a further 48% said they were looking at adopting cloud solutions soon.
Only one in ten practices we spoke to said that they were not currently using any cloud solutions and had no plans to introduce them any time soon.
What these figures show us is that cloud adoption is seeing rapid growth in the accountancy sector and this growth looks set to continue and increase further in the coming months. But why exactly is this?
Cost continues to be a concern for many practices, with 41% of respondents listing ‘keeping costs down’ as the top driver for introducing cloud based accountancy software. 39% said that the “rigorous security” of cloud solutions and “the ability to be continuously updated” were what appealed to them.
Following these were “streamlining operational efficiencies” with 38% and finally “driving enhanced productivity” with 27%.
These are just a handful of the many benefits accountants are seeing when implementing cloud solutions in their practices.
