What are some of the benefits offered by cloud computing that would induce an organization to adopt it?

"Cloud computing offers many benefits compared to hosting an IT infrastructure on-premise. First, it is cost-effective in that you only invest in the IT infrastructure you need. Since cloud computing scales easily, you can increase or decrease the infrastructure in real-time. Cloud computing also offers organizations access to IT resources they may not be able to afford to either purchase or manage themselves. Another advantage is that the cloud service provider such as AWS is responsible for the data backup and recovery, which is a key requirement for any organization's disaster recovery plan."
