Cutting down paper is one of the first steps in moving to the cloud. Paper is expensive and hard to manage.

In particular, I highly reccomend Penultimate. I've used the app for about a year and I've found it helpful for taking notes or jotting down my thoughts. It's the perfect notebook app for the iPad.

Moving to the cloud has many benefits for a firm. It is one of the easiest ways to becoming more productive while saving money. Some of the major benefits are outlined below.
Cost Savings
-
Working in the cloud will help firms better control costs. Cloud technology allows existing production staff to be far more efficient.
-
Not as many support personnel will be needed and due to the synergy of the technology remaining support staff can service multiple locations.
-
Fixed & Utility Based Pricing will allow a firm to purchase only what they need and only when they need it. Additionally, a firm doesn't need to worry about a sudden increase in rates.
Accessibility
-
Information is available anywhere... if you want to prepare a financial statement while looking at the Eiffel Tower... you can.
-
If you want to see if an e-filed tax return was accepted before the parade at Carnival... you can.
-
Your work schedule can fit your life schedule.
Security
-
Virtual Private Network between your data center and branch office. Allows both facilities to act if they are in the same building. Completely secure endpoint to endpoint.
-
Secure Shell Access (SSH) fully encrypts data endpoint to endpoint. Primarily used with Linux machines.
-
Security Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) encrypts data in transit and can be used in conjunction with Remote Desktop.
