We are talking here about &#8220;Cloud Computing&#8221; or &#8220;SAAS&#8221; (software as a service).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There are many software, such as WinBiz, Cr\u00e9sus, Bexio, OfficeMaker, Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace, etc\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we choose to &#8220;move to the Cloud&#8221;, it means that our IT infrastructure is stored offsite, in a datacenter managed by its &#8220;Cloud Computing&#8221; provider.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In this way, you are obliged to use the software installed in the Cloud and to store your data also in this Cloud.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If one of these providers is hacked or suffers a major computer failure or goes bankrupt, what happens to your data and software?<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<li><strong>How long will you be blocked and unable to use these software?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>What will happen with this data?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In reality, it becomes very problematic to manage your business, because no Cloud service is available in these situations and your data is inaccessible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When a cloud provider goes out of business (bankruptcy), your data may no longer be available. This means that any data you entered will no longer be accessible or even retrievable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">First of all, you have to start analyzing whether it is possible to save your data locally and in what format.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<li>Would it then be possible to import your data into another software (local on your computer or also from another Cloud provider)?<\/li>\n<li>Is there another software on the market that is compatible with my data or do I need to develop new software to import them?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Many HES schools see this &#8220;Cloud Computing&#8221; as a major development, but fail to mention the dangers that this system entails, nor the consequences in the event of a breakdown, hacking or bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The MegaUpload case, which stored a multitude of data in the Cloud, was judged and had to close shop, which affected <strong>all users<\/strong> in the world <strong>by permanently depriving them of their data.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>It is important to know that it becomes easier to hack and steal data with the Cloud.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If a hacker obtains your cloud access data, they can do whatever they want, namely, spy, manipulate the data, send false information to your customers or even redirect them to illegitimate sites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Data privacy is also important!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It may even happen that &#8220;Cloud Computing&#8221; service providers use your data for a purpose not provided for in the contract (marketing, etc.).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Is your cloud provider really able to save your data and return it to you in a format compatible with other software?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">An analysis of your situation could certainly be useful to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Do not hesitate to consult our website for more information, by clicking on the links below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macwin.ch\/en\/our-it-and-web-services\/mac-and-windows-data-backup\/\">https:\/\/www.macwin.ch\/en\/our-it-and-web-services\/mac-and-windows-data-backup\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macwin.ch\/en\/our-it-and-web-services\/it-security\/\">https:\/\/www.macwin.ch\/en\/our-it-and-web-services\/it-security\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-30612\" data-postid=\"30612\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-30612 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_6c3s25 tb_first tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_p7vm25 first\">\n                    <!-- module buttons -->\n<div  class=\"module module-buttons tb_3866957 buttons-horizontal solid  buttons-fullwidth\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"module-buttons-item tf_in_flx\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/our-it-and-web-services\/mac-and-windows-data-backup\/\" class=\"ui builder_button tf_in_flx brown\" >\n                                                Read more                                        <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!-- \/module buttons -->\n        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more software vendors are FORCING you to move to the cloud to use their applications, although local use is still possible.
