Many of the technologies we use in our personal and professional lives every day are changing at a very rapid pace. So, do you try to keep up and if so, how? Simple. You let go. Firms often hold on to out of date technology because of the switching costs, insecurity about the best tech choice, lack of expertise, and a host of other reasons. In staying married to old technologies, firms make switching more and more difficult. One of the most pervasive technology trends where this phenomena can be seen is in the conversion from internally maintained servers to cloud hosted servers.
