If your company users Amazon Web Services, you could find yourself using Amazon's new WorkSpaces to access your company's desktop applications through mobile devices or on the Web.

The company broadly launched the service Wednesday after testing it for the last several months. It allows users to work from the cloud by connecting them to a desktop computing environment. That means you can use all the usual applications that your job requires outside of your office.

One of Amazon's customers Peet's Coffee and Tea, was one of the companies who tested WorkSpaces and it found the service was secure and saved the company money, according to a blog from Amazon Web Services.

Although most consumers aren't familiar with Amazon's enterprise services, it's quickly become a huge part of Amazon's business. The company's huge footprint in enterprise -- Amazon can count companies like Netflix and Comcast among its customers -- makes it a formidable opponent in cloud computing.
