Business in the Cloud: What Every Business Needs to Know About Cloud Computing
The level of debate and confusion in many areas of our lives makes many things hard to see, yet also makes one thing perfectly clear. The intensity of debate and confusion are proof in them- selves that big changes are under way. We have arrived at what has been variously called a ‘‘tipping point’’ or an ‘‘inflection point’’ or a ‘‘perfect storm.’’ Tried-and-true formulas and business models from the last 50 years no longer deliver the results they once did, and it is still far too soon to see the exact nature of the new formulas and business models that will replace them. Yet, again, this makes one thing quite clear. For the foreseeable future, organizations need to learn to thrive in environments of continuous change. Change itself will be a constant fact of our lives. Therefore, if change is the one predictable thing in a world where so much else is so unpredictable, companies optimized to deal with change will certainly be more successful than companies not optimized to deal with change. That is why successful response to change is the new business imperative, and the practices and technologies that bring it about are the basis for sustainable prosperity in this century.
