In this fast-paced and ever evolving world the technology landscape is changing at a phenomenal pace.
There is a massive push towards all things “Cloud” – with impressive showings by the big 3 – AWS, Microsoft and Google.
In order to stay current I decided to study for and attempt the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification and after months of hard work and late nights I’m very pleased to say that I passed my certification.
Given that yesterday (16th of June) was Father’s day I couldn’t help but remember my Dad – who not only was a terrific human being (even discounting my bias) but an extremely successful small-business man.
I cannot help but wonder how the compute power and extra-ordinary services offered by AWS (and others) will impact small to medium sized businesses and how they will leverage these technologies to their advantage.
Perhaps an equally important questions is: “Will they leverage these technologies to gain an advantage and if so, how?“
Corporations enjoy “big data” which is leveraged with astonishing results but they are often also bogged down by “legacy” – whether that speaks to infrastructure, mindset, policy and so on, which often impacts their agility.
It is in that space (less legacy coupled with agility) that I see small to medium enterprises leveraging “Cloud” services and potentially gaining a significant performance improvement – whether that be as a result of reduced costs, greater flexibility, agility, responsiveness and ultimately (and hopefully) an improvement in the bottom line.
