Every day, more companies are adopting ways to take advantage of cloud computing. It’s completely changed the way most look at technology as it has provided new opportunities to expand operations and engage with customers. And despite having to deal with existing IT investments, companies are still able to embrace big data and analytics, mobile computing and digital engagement faster and much easier through the cloud.
Cloud computing has allowed for new ways to experiment with and implement ideas at a faster pace. As that’s happened, new trends have developed.
Linking data for engagement
Companies are now linking their internal data systems with new systems to engage employees, partners and customers and so on. Departments like Human Resources, Finance and Shipping and Receiving are being integrated with next-generation systems for email, social networking or collaboration hubs that allow companies more effective and creative ways to utilize all of its data. The cloud, as a handy swift nimble, scalable platform, is helping propel this trend.
Accelerating innovation using cloud
The cloud provides an open environment and framework for flexible assembly models used in software engineering. Companies now have the ability to quickly tap into previous technology investments but they can also rapidly transform entire business models. New and innovative applications are being created every day as more companies take services and data to a higher level and link them together. Utilizing the secure cloud environment also helps protect sensitive information and makes it a more beneficial solution.
Automating services
With the cloud, big corporations and other organizations can see user interaction with organizational data and have the ability to control how their services are being used to protect that data. Automating services in a hybrid cloud environment will allow for easier and more secure development of business applications, new technology models or even collaboration with others. It’s an entirely different approach now than in past iterations of cloud computing when organizations were fearful of losing oversight and control of their resources in those housed in mammoth centralized data centers. Organizations now have more control and greater flexibility.
The cloud has opened up new opportunities across the board. Now managers can not only create new business models but they have the ability to foster better relationships with customers and gain greater insights from the expertise and experience of employees and partners. First used for greater efficiency and cost savings, the cloud has now become the source of tremendous innovation in many companies. The trend will only continue as more companies perceive the cloud as a nimble and scalable platform.
