What is Cloud-Based Software?

Software that lives on the internet — not your local hard drive

Cloud-based software solutions live on the internet and are accessed through web browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Unlike traditional desktop programs that require local installation and storage, cloud software means all your information is stored securely on the internet itself — protected by unique usernames, passwords, and enterprise-grade encryption.

A simple example is email. Your Gmail or Yahoo inbox isn't stored on your computer — it's stored securely in the cloud. You can access it from any device, anywhere in the world. The same principle applies to business software built on Microsoft SharePoint: your data, documents and applications exist securely in the cloud, accessible to your authorised team members at any time.

At SharePoint Systems, we build cloud-based software solutions specifically for businesses using Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365 — helping your organisation run more efficiently, collaborate more effectively, and adapt to a mobile, remote-ready world of work.

Why Cloud Software?

Key Benefits of Cloud-Based Software

The shift to cloud-based software is no longer optional — it's a strategic advantage that directly impacts your efficiency, security and bottom line.

Lower Costs

Traditional software often involves expensive upfront licensing and hardware infrastructure. Cloud-based software is typically billed on a predictable monthly subscription based on usage. You only pay for what you need — making it cost-effective for businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to large enterprises.

Cost Efficiency

Enhanced Security & Compliance

Microsoft 365 implements robust enterprise-grade security measures, including AES-256 encryption, multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies and regular third-party audits. This ensures compliance with industry standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR and South Africa's POPIA — giving your business genuine peace of mind.

Enterprise Security

Seamless Integration

Cloud-based applications built on Microsoft 365 integrate natively with hundreds of other business tools — accounting software like Xero or QuickBooks, CRM systems, HR platforms and custom data sources. For example, your accounting system can automatically pull bank statement data for streamlined reconciliation — all within a secure, connected cloud environment.

Connected Ecosystem

User-Friendly & Accessible Anywhere

Cloud-based software is designed to run in any modern web browser — meaning your employees don't need high-specification PCs or specialised hardware. Your team accesses the same tools and data whether they're in the office, working from home, travelling, or on-site at a client. Intuitive interfaces make online collaboration seamless across devices.

Anywhere Access

Simple Maintenance & Always Current

There's no need to manually install or update software on every computer in your office. Cloud-based software maintained by Microsoft is always current — automatically updated with the latest features, security patches and compliance improvements. No technicians required for routine maintenance, and no downtime waiting for updates.

Zero Maintenance

Business Innovation & Scalability

Cloud-based tools built on Microsoft 365 encourage innovation, scalability and remote productivity. Whether you're scaling operations quickly, onboarding new teams across multiple locations, or streamlining collaboration between departments — the cloud grows seamlessly with your business needs. Add new users, features or modules without any infrastructure change.

How Cloud-Based Software Works

From browser to business — understanding the cloud model

At its simplest, cloud software replaces the need for local programs installed on individual machines. Instead of software running on your hard drive, it runs on powerful servers maintained by Microsoft in geographically distributed data centres — and you access it securely over the internet.

Microsoft's global network of Azure data centres ensures that your SharePoint environment is backed by 99.9% uptime guarantees, automatic failover, geo-redundant backups and enterprise-grade security policies that no on-premises server room could match.

For your employees, the experience is simple: open a browser, sign in with their Microsoft 365 credentials, and their entire digital workplace is waiting for them — documents, workflows, dashboards, applications and communication tools, all in one place.

1
Employee opens a browser
Any modern browser on any device — Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. No software installation required.
2
Secure authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) verifies their identity using their existing Microsoft 365 credentials. Multi-factor authentication can be enforced for extra security.
3
Request processed in Microsoft data centres
Their actions are processed securely in Microsoft's South African or nearest Azure data centres — with full encryption in transit and at rest.
4
Work, collaborate and automate
Documents, workflows, approvals, dashboards and forms — all available instantly. Changes sync in real time across all connected users.
5
Automatic backup and compliance
Microsoft maintains geo-redundant backups, version history and a full audit trail automatically — no IT intervention required.

Client Feedback

What Our Clients Say

Organisations across South Africa have transformed their operations by moving to cloud-based software built on Microsoft SharePoint.

Moving our HR and admin processes to SharePoint cloud with SPS was the best decision we made this year. The fact that our team can work from anywhere — and everything syncs instantly — has genuinely changed how we operate.

Nomsa K.
HR Director, Durban Professional Services
★★★★★

We didn't know we already had SharePoint included in our Microsoft 365 subscription. SPS showed us what was possible and built us a cloud-based system that replaced three separate pieces of software. The cost saving alone paid for the project.

Pieter V.
Managing Director, Cape Town Distribution Co.
★★★★★

The security and compliance aspect was critical for us as a financial services business. SPS built our cloud solution with POPIA compliance built in from day one. We now have complete audit trails and role-based access that we never had before.
