# You're Already Using the Cloud - Even If You Don't Know It!

** June 24, 2025

 Businesses sometimes almost miss the fact that most of their business already is in the cloud. So for example, if you're running on Gmail or you're running on Microsoft 365, you're running in the cloud, all of that is in the cloud. But you say, but I'm running Outlook on my local desktop. That's a client that's accessing the cloud.

Now, what might not be running in the cloud? Well, let's say you're a construction company, and your estimating team is using, an old legacy 20, 30-year-old estimating software, and you've got a server in a back closet, hums with lights, has dust all over it, you know the one I'm talking about and you're, you estimating team is operating that, that old estimating software.

Well, that's not cloud. It's sitting on a server in your office. It's a legacy component. It's a legacy, something in your office. Now, do you need that? Look, you might, the question I would ask though, is can you move it? Can we pick it up? And we, there's a lot we could talk about there, but frankly, most people don't need that.

Businesses that are a couple hundred users in size and under there, there's almost no reason. For old legacy systems, they're not big enough to have to worry about it. If you were a bank, hundreds of thousands of employees and they had a legacy system, it cost millions and millions and millions of dollars to change that legacy system.

That's a different issue when you're a 25-person law firm. I'm sorry. There's nothing legacy enough that you could not go ahead and say, we can move that to a cloud-based application, and so you should.
