What Does All-Cloud Environment Mean?

An all-cloud environment describes a company, organization or individual that uses a Web-based application for every task rather than installing software or storing data on a computer.

More than likely, the first users to enter an all-cloud environment will be individuals, as businesses have more proprietary data to worry about.
