Cloud computing is the hottest topic in IT. Gartner ranks cloud in the #1 spot of its list of top 10 strategic technology topics. It is the overriding theme at most industry conferences this year. Projections of cloud revenue growth rates in the high double digits further underscore the relevance of the topic.
Yet today’s discussions of cloud computing only hint at its full potential. Like the early days of e-business and the introduction of SOA, cloud is in its infancy, with its promise still to be fully realized. Advocates of cloud are limiting their focus to tactical cost benefits and efficiency gains on the IT infrastructure side, but the real benefit of cloud computing will be realized within the context of future developments that will shape the course of IT. When combined with these developments, cloud computing will become part of an innovation that changes everyday life.
This is the observation that Wolfram Jost writes on his article “The Business Value of Cloud Computing” published in Cloud Computing Journal. The final conclusion is that the value of cloud is far greater than a tactical focus on technology and operating costs, and the Cloud can help you as a Platform for Collaboration, changing the consumer experience and the tactics of the Cloud Use in Business.
We want to invite you to read the article and discover how Cloud Computing can change your business.
