Abstract
The main issues affecting cloud computing are the high costs associated with the transfer of data and the availability of cloud systems. Data transfer costs are rather high especially for those businesses that extensively use document management systems that are characterised by the production of large amounts of transactions and data records. Communication traffic associated with these large data transfers significantly adds to the operational cost as well. In this article we will focus on cloud computing from the perspective of business application and highlight the technology' s potential benefits and shortcomings both in short and long terms
