97% of SMBs say security positively impacted by cloud adoption

A recent survey of French Small Businesses said cloud adoption had a positive impact on security, as well as noticing unexpected benefits, such as up-to-date systems and antivirus protection.

The Microsoft commissioned survey polled businesses with 25 to 499 PCs. Many of the businesses stated they noticed a significant improvement in uptime after transitioning to the cloud.

The report also looked at return on investment in the cloud, and came up with positive conclusions. Seven in 10 say that they had been able to “pursue new opportunities” because of time saved in the cloud, whilst a whopping 87% said that money saved from cloud adoption had been reinvested in the likes of customer service (39%), product development (37%) and marketing (30%).
