Cloud computing shouldn’t need demystifying, but complex terminology, ongoing hype, and conflicting stories about its potential have complicated its outcomes and perceptions. The technology has the potential to revolutionise business processes while allowing for scalability, agility, and flexibility across multiple touchpoints throughout the organisation.
The complexity lies in the how. How does the cloud step into the business and reimagine its existing capabilities to deliver real value?
The first answer lies in scalability and accessibility.
The technologies that frame the concept of cloud computing allow for organisations to optimise their processes to meet specific demands. Instead of having hardware on site that has to be physically managed and scaled when your business grows, you can use virtual infrastructure provided by your service provider to scale (or downscale) on demand.
The cost savings are immediately apparent as companies no longer have to manage and pay for hardware that they may or may not be using. Instead, the burden of the technology sits with the cloud service provider while you determine usage based on actual need.
Which introduces the next benefit – cost savings.
One of the most often mentioned benefits of cloud computing is its ability to save your business money. On the surface, you can see why. It is on demand, it is flexible and you are paying as you go. At its core, cloud computing shifts the narrative from CAPEX to OPEX.
However, there is conflicting information on the actual savings a business will feel if it moves to the cloud. There are numerous stories about bill shock. Cloud is not cheaper nor is it cost-effective if it is not integrated or managed properly. While it can deliver superb savings because of its economies of scale and pay-as-you-need structure, it will only do so within the right structure and implementation.
