As you know, moving to the cloud is a popular solution that many small businesses have decided to take action on. If you aren’t a “tech” person, then it can be scary to think of all of your programs or files saved in the cloud, floating in “outer space” where you can’t physically touch it.

The only scenario for which on-premise Office 2013 may be the best choice is if you need Office 2013 Home & Student, and only on a single PC. In that case, you can spend the $140 and be done. For small to medium businesses, however, the Office 2013 Professional is the most appropriate version of Office, and multiple machines are almost always necessary.
