It covers the benefits and prospects for the development of enterprises and all kinds of services inherent in using the cloud computing model. The results of a survey conducted among Polish entrepreneurs operating in the province of Silesia on the knowledge of the concept of cloud computing, the potential of the business model have been analyzed, discussed and compared with published results of previous studies. It has been noted that the use of cloud computing, also in the area of accounting reduces overall IT management costs, and allows large-scale consolidation and optimization of the use of hardware and software resources.
