As the CEO of KloudGin , a cloud asset management platform , Vikram Takru specialises in cloud solutions which can reduce paper waste and optimize energy savings . Here he outlines some of the key ways that the cloud can improve efficiencies .

» Cloud computing is absolutely green technology . It allows consolidation of the computing infrastructure , which in turn enables energy and resource efficiency . Many of the AWS and other hosting facilities are also working to power their operations via renewable energy sources , to make their operations more carbon neutral .

» Cloud systems are often architected as multi-tenant SaaS applications and this innovative architecture enables the efficient use of shared computing resources . As a result , business users can consume resources only when they need it . Clouds can load-balance , or ‘ turn off ’ resources when not in use . These applications also digitize workflows , which eliminates paper processes . The reduction - or elimination - of paper reduces waste , optimizes mobile field service , asset management , and worker and customer service efficiency , and provides the ability to deliver a touchless customer interaction .
