The truth about data & the cloud
Make sure you understand what people mean when they say “cloud.” Hint: what you hear and assume is
not what they mean…
Material improvements happen when you optimize processes and then enable them with cloud
technologies. These tools assist us in accomplishing goals and objectives faster and cheaper.
Cloud technologies greatest benefit is flexibility in that you can work from anywhere due to the
accessibility of the data. Any device, anytime, anywhere.
When comparing technology spend of on premise vs. cloud technologies you need to include all of the
costs. Hint: people don’t include all of the on premise costs in this analysis.
