She points to these and other factors that will combine to drive Cloud deployment…
- Overcoming Reluctance – Early objections from veteran IT directors are giving way to a better understanding of Cloud benefits and acknowledgment that change is critical to growth.
- Early Adopters Have Paved the Way – Case studies and best-practice models produced by early adopters have produced excellent data that is hard to dismiss.
- Growth Focused – Cloud deployment is fast and easy… taking months, not years… all without the hassle of purchasing and setting up servers, hardware and security.
- Flexible Scale and Scope – Expansion is remarkably easy with the Cloud. Scalability and flexibility are built into the solution.
- Go Digital – Cloud deployment also makes it possible to modernize the entire IT system, without incurring large capital expenses.
