Successfully communicating your business strategy across multiple locations and to thousands if not millions of employees is no simple task. Organizations often fail to implement scalable IT systems that can facilitate this communication process and ensure that goals and tasks are cascaded effectively to every employee, regardless of their physical location.
I had the opportunity to attend the annual Cloud Computing World Forum conference that took place in London last week, and found it to be interesting, informative and very relevant to the topic of business execution. Cloud computing is still in its infancy but the recent developments in virtualization, the growing availability of high speed broadband connections and of course the current state of the economy are all combining to accelerate it’s adoption and development.
This rapid adoption looks set to label cloud computing as the next ‘disruptive technology’ we will face and will radically change the way companies manage their technology assets and computing needs. The term describes the very real disruption that occurs when an innovation in technology or business model unexpectedly displaces an established one (for example iTunes vs. purchasing CDs). Even today, a growing number of businesses leaders are bypassing their own IT departments in favour of external cloud suppliers to provision cost effective instantaneous services that would have otherwise taken weeks even or months to arrange internally.
Available as Software as a Service (SaaS), i-nexus offers an easy and low risk way to experience the advantages of cloud computing in the form of its on-demand business execution platform. With minimal intervention from your IT department your business can immediately benefit from a whole suite of comprehensive functionality specifically aimed at defining goals, driving programs and managing performance; and an underlying core platform which can be ‘tuned’ to meet the specific needs of your organization.
