What is meant by cloud computing in the logistics?

Cloud computing refers to the central management and dynamic provision of applications via a network (‘cloud’).

A cloud enables users to obtain new capacities upon request without having to acquire new hardware. Cloud computing therefore offers enormous flexibility and cost savings.
