26 APR 2012 | Posted in business value, cloud computing | Author Rob NewmanThe launch of Google Drive this week (Google’s cloud storage offering) has generated a lot of interest and comparisons with other cloud storage providers such as DropBox, Microsoft’s SkyDrive, and Apple’s iCloud.

The Cloud as a Transformational Business Tool
Overview
The cloud as a technology is neither complex nor interesting. However, what is significant is the truly transformational nature of what it enables business to do.

Capital investment in the initial stages of a project using “cloud” is extremely low, and yet ownership costs remain under control even at scale.
The ability to start new initiatives and respond to change quickly and efficiently is truly game changing.

Back in June 2011 I presented on Future Technology Trends at the Iris NFP conference and one of the major themes was the emergence of cloud, which I predicted would shape the future for many organisations.
