\u201cBig Data eliminates the data silos that formerly existed, improving the depth and quality of analysis that can take place,\u201d observed Scott Kinka, Chief Technology Officer at Evolve IP, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. \u201cWithout these barriers, Kinka continued, \u201cwe gain access to information that was never before available. We can see where there are underserved markets, opportunities, problems that need to be addressed.\u201d
\nAgree or disagree? \u2013 “While the IT savings aspect is compelling, the strongest benefit of cloud computing is how it enhances business agility.”
\nScott Kinka: Agree and disagree. You can\u2019t really separate the two. Here\u2019s why: agility is the ability to not buy more than you need. It is the ability to add resources when you need them rather than having to overspend and overbuy upfront on the idea that one day you might need more. <\/p>\n
