To some in the industry and media, cloud based services are the greatest thing since the dawn of trading in stock in the coffee shops of London back in the 1600s. However, just like those early trades, the cloud does have its issues. Yes, it can help a business to grow, and help with the outreach and the recognition of a company, but at what cost?
If an organization does not choose its cloud partner correctly, then it could be leaving itself vulnerable to outage problems. This, in turn, will lead to productivity issues. But don’t misunderstand me. I believe in the cloud. I just do not believe in all the hype that surrounds it.
