The world today is more connected than ever. Thanks to the advancement of technology, a digital revolution is now part and parcel of our daily lives. This new digital ecosystem has impacted everything, from the economy to education, society and lifestyles.

We are able to orchestrate tasks - such as communication, banking and doing business - from virtually anywhere and at any time through our smart devices. The pandemic has no doubt highlighted the importance of and accelerated digitisation, especially with the shift towards operating in the new normal. 

With the world moving towards remote working and operating with limited physical contact, cloud computing has emerged as an essential component that has helped facilitate collaboration, communication as well as continued business functionality. 

It goes without saying that cloud computing has surged tremendously in the past year due to the Covid-19 health crisis. But for many who embraced digitisation long before that, they were already enjoying the value and flexibility of cloud computing, especially when operating in an increasingly mobile world.

Operating in a digital world 

Embracing digital transformation, especially from a business and operational standpoint, has far-reaching benefits, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Cloud computing, specifically, has provided businesses with a cost-effective way to scale their operations according to their needs and requirements. 

Financial management has been one of the key challenges most SMEs have been faced with. However, by switching to a cloud computing model, businesses are now reaping the benefits of having a streamlined, highly mobile and flexible system at their disposal. 

As for accounting, cloud-based software has made bookkeeping a seamless and worry-free process. It is an area of expertise that AutoCount Cloud Accounting is eager to cater to, especially for SMEs. 

That is because a lot of SMEs face extensive challenges when it comes to finance and accounting. Some of these areas include managing limited and inconsistent cash flow, which can hamper operations when it comes to payroll and utilities.
