Cloud Adoption: It’s All About the Application
There has been a lot of discussion recently about cloud adoption. Will the enterprise ever move to the Cloud? Will the Federal government move toward the Cloud to reduce spending? Is the Cloud ready for “prime time” in regards to security, interoperability, and control? These are all great topics and areas that do require our focus in the years to come. However, to some extent they are missing the point of what is actually happening in the real world. In a recent report posted by InformationWeek that surveyed 500 CIOs, over half the respondents in the U.S. indicated they are “already using cloud computing”. These were CIOs responding, not developers on Amazon or Google! Another recent survey found over 67% of U.S. companies “already” use cloud computing in the form of Gmail, calendaring, or CRM. For all the posturing and positioning about the future of cloud computing, it appears the future is now at least for some companies. Moving to the Cloud seems to depends more on the Application, then it does the Cloud platform!
