Cloud Platform

A cloud platform is software hosted and delivered over the internet rather than installed locally, allowing access from any device without on-site infrastructure.

Definition

A cloud platform delivers software over the internet from centrally hosted infrastructure, rather than requiring local installation or on-site servers. Cloud-based energy platforms allow access from any location and device, and typically handle updates and scaling on the provider's side.

Why It Matters

Cloud delivery removes the need for on-site IT infrastructure and allows multi-site organisations to access the same platform consistently across locations.
