Thanks to the ever-expanding popularity of cloud computing, the sky is no longer the limit. The power to streamline business processes, collaborate on actionable insights, and make faster, better, and more informed decisions can be yours right now. And by now, we mean NOW.
With cloud-based solutions, businesses are quickly discovering that they can be better running their business in just weeks. They don't need expensive servers that require a full-time IT guru to maintain. And that's not the best part. Small companies looking to harness the capabilities and benefits offered by the cloud don't need a big budget.
Simply put, and perhaps the most eye-opening factor -- IT gets it. The future is in the cloud. The interesting discussion is how to get there. There is a lot of wisdom in not disrupting a running system, especially when it basically meets your needs. But does this mean that you can't benefit from the cloud until your legacy systems break?...not at all. The airline industry has shown us how to rebuild and revolutionize an airplane currently in service.
Take the Boeing 747 as an example. On the surface, it appears to have hardly changed since its introduction over 40 years ago. This provides tremendous economies of scale from the length of runways and the layout of terminals to airframe tool and FAA certification. Under the skin; however, components have been swapped out to keep up with the times improving efficiency, safety and comfort.
