The speed at which computers infiltrated the business world was astonishing; one of the leaps in technological evolution. The theory was that since all the documents could be represented digitally, we would soon have no need for paper copies of anything. The savings savings in paper, ink, filing cabinets and personnel to handle them would be exceptional. Now we are entering the era of cloud hosting.
Technology always seems to move up and down like a wave approaching the shore. The idea of moving from the manual typewriter to a word processor did not take long to catch on, because it was clearly better, as cloud hosting services are better than other virtual servers. The same was true for many of the programs introduced for these amazing computing devices.
But the old adage that says the more things change the more they seem the same applies in the computer world as well. The older way of conducting business required complicated and voluminous file systems to ensure records were properly maintained and safeguarded and to move information. With computers, we have simply changed one headache for another as we still need to maintain and protect data, and store them somewhere.
As the new computerized system came into being, no one could imagine that there would be so much information generated and collected that storage would continue to be a concern. The notion that someone could target a company exclusively over the internet was also not a common concern early on. As the system changed, these concerns, as well as consistent power supplies became real headaches for business.
Programs have become powerful, but each user needs a copy on their desktop. Non-collocated teams can meet in a virtual room online, but they can not work on the same program simultaneously, and updates must be done in serial fashion. Now a new concept for using the internet has evolved, beyond meeting software that allowed exactly that multiple user interface with the same software.
even tough leaders know there is a problem getting multiple users in different locations access to the same software, trying new things is tricky and can be expensive. But a huge paradigm shift really should be given a dry run if possible before such a significant investment. During the evaluation phase, all the concerns a company has about data should be addressed.
A business owner or CEO has to determine how the new capability serves his company well and if it is worth the opportunity cost in man-hours, capital and the learning curve to adopt a new way of operating. Security and reliability are concerns that are difficult to assuage, much like proving an accident was prevented, but briefings and tours can demonstrate the infrastructure capability.
The only way to be sure that a cloud server will provide the progress expected is to try it for real. Before spending the money and time and subjecting all employees to a completely new process a complete evaluation is critical. Success or failure is measured by how easily employees can continue doing their jobs, what improvements to processes are demonstrated, how safe and secure the data is, and finally if the company actually saves money.
