I just read Bob’s very good write-up on the Oracle Cloud-Computing-roundtable-luncheon and wondered why managers often get so lost with technology.
Fads, there are a lot of them. But I think there is substance to this one. It is the Startup’s and SME’s who are the ones to pay heed! View this particular fad with the same interest as the Internet Shop Front! Yes, it “levels the playing field” yet more.
Think about it, when you are financially at your most vulnerable, others will provision you with the infrastructure and know how that the huge corporates have, and pay through the nose for. But Bob is right, I don’t think this offers much to the big corporates. Much hassle for little return.
So don’t keep your heads in the clouds, start your reading here.
