Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cloud computing provides natural economies of scale allowing businesses to pay only for what they need. This reduces costs by optimising both software licences and hardware or storage purchases both on-premise or within the data centre.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cloud delivers more flexibility and reliability, increased performance and efficiency, and helps to lower IT costs. It also improves innovation, allowing organizations to achieve faster time to market and incorporate AI and machine learning use cases into their strategies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cloud-based solutions are cheaper than on-premises infrastructures because you don’t need to replace the hardware. This contrasts with on-premises infrastructure, where IT teams will likely replace the hardware after a few years, incurring costs in the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cloud infrastructures support environmental proactivity, powering virtual services rather than physical products and hardware, and cutting down on paper waste, improving energy efficiency, and (given that it allows employees access from anywhere with an internet connection) reducing commuter-related emissions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cloud computing services save money by offering businesses access to more versatile and scalable IT services. This allows clients to choose specific service levels according to their needs, rather than buying or building out an IT architecture because of a temporary demand.
