Everybody wants to be innovative. And by now, most everybody has heard that cloud computing is a gateway to new levels of business agility and innovation.
However, where do you set the bar for being innovative? More specifically, do you define innovation as providing real strategic competitive advantages to the business, and if so how will cloud computing get you there? Here’s a brief 5-min video segment from Dave Roberts’s keynote session at Cloud Expo West 2011 that describes the differences in plain terms.
It’s a question that not enough people are asking as we evaluate today’s cloud services and vendor offerings. That’s a shame and potentially a huge mistake, because now is a point in time in cloud maturity and adoption where organizations can break from the pack and establish new lasting competitive advantages that could drive market share growth, profitability, and truly meaningful business value for years to come.
Why do we limit our thinking about the benefits of cloud computing? You shouldn’t settle for tactical automation solutions with small incremental gains when far greater potential lies just ahead.
