Business should dictate move to the cloud
February 4, 2012
Although cost savings and the use of new technology are great reasons for moving to a cloud computing solution, Robert Youngjohns, president of Microsoft North Amerca, told a room full of IT vendors that business should be what drives companies into the cloud instead of any of the flash and frills, according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal.
“Going to the cloud is a business decision. It’s not about technology,” Youngjohns said at Tech Data Corp.’s Cloud Champion Summit in Florida, the news source reported. He added that businesses should take things such as costs and applications into effect, but the decision to move into the cloud should mostly look at what will work for the business and what will not…
In November, Youngjohns said during the UBS Global Technology and Services Conference that the migration from the private to public cloud computing solution is a thing to watch for. He said the focus should be on system management and safely moving from one cloud to the next.
