Far be it from me to be known as the, “technology queen,” however; I have a decent amount of business savvy coupled with a passionate desire to save money while not comprising value. Take my car for example. Over the years, I have never been a ‘car owner’ per se’ rather a ‘care lessee.’ You see, I thoroughly enjoy having a “new” car every 4 years. Not only does it feel great but I also get the latest gadgets, technology advances, and safety features and ‘usually’ never worry about a breakdown. You see, I have very little competency on car maintenance or problematic issues of any kind relative to a car and how it all works and, quite honestly, no desire. What I do know is this—I jump in my car, insert the key into the ignition, shift the gears, step on the gas, and GO - no worries. My schedule is hectic and demanding at times and this is one less worry in my day. If I were to purchase the car outright, the depreciation alone would make me dizzy and numb. Sure, I’d own it after 5 or 6 years along with all the repairs that it will require to keep it running in tip top shape.
Guess what? Our office technology is the same way. Technological advances and changes are occurring everyday! In order to set-up your office, it’ll require an initial investment in hardware and software resources just to get started and that comes with a whopping price tag. IT related costs are spiraling and users are constantly reporting frustrations with a slow network, access to the database and so forth. And, you invest all the money, time, and effort only to do it all again in another 4-5 years. IT equipment can run you well into the thousands. So what’s the option? Lease your infrastructure with Cloud computing! Hardware resources (such as storage) and computing power (CPU and memory) are offered as services to you. This enables you to rent these resources rather than spending money to buy dedicated servers and networking equipment.
Cloud computing is changing the way we do business, work, live or lives, and generally interact with data and services.
Stay tuned--next, I will be sharing ways to know if Cloud computing is right for your company.
