Moving Businesses to the Cloud
09.10.11
MANILA, Philippines — These days, it is commonplace to find out talk of businessmen moving their investments and business processes “into the cloud.”
Those in the certain would immediately relate this to that widespread phenomenon called cloud computing, but for the technology-challenged, inescapable questions come to mind: If the cloud is here, where is it? What is it exactly? What are its risks and how do businesses change for it?
In a nutshell, cloud computing is simply using Internet-based services to prop certain processes of the business. And whether they realize it or not, most Filipino businesses have already set foot on the cloud.
Using Gmail or Yahoo for responsibility e-mails, for example, implies that a company is going into the cloud to let Google and Yahoo’s computers utilize their e-mail. Most of us have been using Internet-based services for more than a decade, but it is only now that audacity-based solutions are becoming available online, including those that may be cardinal to running one’s own company.
