Cloud Business Intelligence (BI) from Izenda

By | Business Intelligence, The Cloud
In 2013, we published a blog titled “In 10 Years, Cloud Computing Will Be Long Forgotten.” Of course, we didn’t mean it wouldn’t be used at all. (We were young, but not naive…). What we meant was that cloud computing (and cloud business intelligence) would become so ingrained in everyday technology, that it would cease to be a meaningful term. It would be the standard.

And by 2023, that very well may be the case. As of 2019, 90% of companies were on the cloud. And an estimated 60% of workloads are running on a cloud-hosted service. – up 25% from the year before. The main driver behind cloud adoption? Data Access.

And for businesses, where there’s data – there’s Business Intelligence. (At least there should be.) The increased adoption of cloud services has led to an increase in Cloud BI tools. Here, we’ll go over what Business Intelligence for the cloud means, how it works, and the benefits of cloud analytics.

cloud migration and business intelligence

Don’t Waste Your Cloud Migration

By | The Cloud
It’s no longer a trend. Cloud computing is the future. As cloud services become cheaper, more manageable, and more secure, businesses across all verticals will have no choice but to make the migration if they want to remain competitively viable.

But many organizations keep putting it off. And you can’t blame them. Cloud migration is difficult, complex, and causes a general disruption in your business. And disruptions are potentially expensive.

In a nutshell, cloud adoption is risky and easy to put off if you don’t see an immediate need. But as Bill Kleyman put it, if you want to disrupt a digital-driven market, you yourself must be disrupted.

Top 5 Cloud Trends in 2020

By | The Cloud
It’s no surprise: cloud computing is the “new normal” for enterprise IT. Spending for cloud-based offerings is markedly higher, with cloud initiatives expected to account for 70% of all tech spending in 2020.

And with this greater spend comes a greater focus on optimization, reliability, security, and more. For many enterprises, cloud adoption is no longer a choice – but a competitive requirement. Customers expect speed and scalability as well as lower costs and security.

In order to keep up with the complexity of multi-cloud strategies, new trends in cloud computing are emerging. Here 5 cloud trends we’re seeing in 2020.

The Cloud is Changing IT – and the Skills You Need

By | Business, IT and Engineering, The Cloud

A few weeks ago we debated whether or not there’s still a place for the Chief Technology Officer in the increasingly cloud-based workplace universe. At the very least, his role will change significantly.

But that isn’t a bad thing, and in fact, as anyone who is in IT already knows, the department and its role within the enterprise is constantly evolving. So similarly to the CIO’s changing purpose, worries, and responsibilities, those of the larger IT department are changing yet again to adjust to the plethora of cloud services. Cloud services shift management of server workloads and other traditional IT responsibilities onto these outside vendors and third parties “who already have the skills to manage complex infrastructures at a cheaper price than paying for in-house IT department employees.”  On the surface, this might leave IT professionals fearful for their jobs.

In 10 Years, Cloud Computing Will Be Long Forgotten

By | Business, IT and Engineering, The Cloud

Cloud Computing: A Thing of the Past?

Yes, in ten years, we will hardly ever mention “the Cloud” and all related buzzwords surrounding cloud computing.

Notice what I am not saying: that cloud computing will go away.

Cloud with a power buttonCloud computing will simply have been ingrained in the technology we use, and will cease to become a meaningful term for technologists. We’ll all be cloud computing pros, in enterprise and consumer fields alike. Says a recent article:

“Cloud computing in ten years will have gone off in various directions, all systemic to how we handle enterprise computing in the future.”
