The Cloud: making IT a commodity
One of the majors improvements powered by the Cloud paradigm is making IT a commodity. The IT industry, however, was not able to take advantage of this new reality. In the Cloud world Business, literally, meets Consumers. IT giants are having great difficulties adapting to this new, empowered and consumer-centric, working model. These giants are used to collect partners, which in turn sell their products to IT managers and CIOs. This traditional business model is having some difficulties imposing itself in the Cloud and I, sincerely, do not believe this would happen, at least in a short term and without some model redefinition. That being said, it is time for business owners, CEOs, entrepreneurs and department managers (among others) to update themselves, to redefine their business.
Cloud will be Europe IT main platform by 2014
According to Resellernews: “The majority of chief information officers across Europe believe the cloud will provide their main IT operating channel by 2014, according to research”. Well, I know the Cloud is here and is changing, very quickly, the IT world but isn’t this to fast?
How the Cloud is changing businesses
According to VentureBeat.com: “A slew of new offerings in the cloud are helping even the tiniest of businesses look and act like big companies”. This is, in my opinion, a new reality arising from the Cloud paradigm. New ways of working are allowing small companies to, easily and in a low cost basis, spread their products around the world and act, in the global market, like big companies with a fraction of the costs. However, to obtain these results, managers need to be open mind about new ways of thinking and new ways of doing business: the Cloud way.
