A “Perfect Storm” has been happening over the last 12-18 months in Asia allowing Enterprises to now take the next leap forward in Technology Adoption.
The results are gains in operational efficiencies, customer satisfaction and competitive differentiation. The outcome of this storm has been the true availability of Enterprise Cloud Computing Solutions.
The Perfect Storm has occurred through an intersection of the following factors:
- Network Bandwidth – permits reliable and fast internet connection speeds
- Virtualization Technology – reduces overall IT infrastructure costs
- Credit Crisis – drives demand for pay as you consume price models
- Software Advances – simplifies development and reduces time to market
Cloud Computing is now a reality, thanks to the Perfect Storm, and is going to have a dramatic impact on Asian Enterprises.
Companies in Asia will gain most due to the particular characteristics of the area. The benefits that can be obtained are:
- Vast Geographies – easier to maintain consistency across the organization
- Competitive landscape – new efficiencies and differentiators established through rapid product deployments based on cloud infrastructures
- Cost Sensitivity – reduced operational overheads and improved economies of scale
- Multiple cultures –“push button” internationalization
