Cloud computing — once a mere buzzword among the technology elite — has burgeoned into a worldwide paradigm shift for business. Even before Covid-19 drove companies “into the cloud,”:

● 78% of law firms were storing data in the cloud,

● 69% intended to adopt cloud solutions, and

● The percentage worried about cybersecurity dropped from 33% to 17%.

Perhaps you’ve searched online for more information, only to be greeted by a tsunami of articles on the pros and cons of cloud computing. That’s why we’ve prepared this guide — to present you with the facts and debunk the myths of cloud computing.
