2/21/2023 0 Comments Leading edge or bleeding edge![]() ![]() Look at what Verizon is doing, they are bringing gigabit (well, actually, it is near gigabit) speeds to customer's homes. Here is an example of one area of strategy, bandwidth. Remember, there is no endgame, it is always an on-going process Keep in mind that if you do not continue advancing your on-premises technology/infrastructure, and bringing your firm's IT staff and all other employees along with those advances - you have already doomed your organization to a less than energizing future.īeing an organizational thought leader is always, always a desired role to be in. Because if the leadership is only looking at the immediate time frame rather than looking at the long term gains and benefits, that organizations' leadership is doing a disservice to everyone around them (employees, customers and even the shareholders). It is what is coming down the pike that needs deep and full consideration, not the temporary immediacy and the cost savings 'right now'. Is the organizations' leadership looking at right now or 6 months from now (or 12 - 24 months)? This is the overarching goal for any executive. Knock Out Strategy (worth a shot to try - correct.?) And, you do not have to be a large enterprise to embrace some of this content, you can be a small or medium sized business as well. Keeping the above in mind, following are several areas you should take into consideration as you ponder moving to the cloud and virtualization. Or are you looking for innovation in going into the 'Cloud'? slower, smaller CPUs in servers // slower storage devices // slower network connectivity)?ģ.Or are you looking for increased cost savings by maintaining. faster, larger CPUs in servers // faster bandwidth // faster storage & distribution pointsĢ.However, if you are only working in the 'here and now' for the immediate short-term rather than working on 'now' AND the future, you - yes, you - you need to reconsider your game plan and change your mindset. What is your corporation looking for in your firm's technology needs - Bleeding edge or Leading edge? Are you a CEO or President who is forward thinking? Are you a CIO or CTO with solid long range thinking in mind? Or are you a CFO or COO thinking in terms of long-term ROI and not counting pennies (hoarding) in the short-term in order to ensure a very decent growth curve.? If you are of the aforementioned, then this paper is for you. Not to worry EVPs, SVPs, Directors, Managers and Supervisors - this paper is also for you too. Yes, sounds like buzz words, but, that is the way it should be. What the paper really distills to is, is open mindedness for change and growth along with inclusiveness and collaboration of all parties involved to enhance productivity and business (and employee) success. But this paper could be used for all enterprises and infrastructures. This paper is primarily aimed at the "Cloud" and the promises of its capabilities now and in the future. ![]() (NB: Ahhh, due to this being a tad bit long paper, only a portion is posted here, the URL to the full post is at the end of this posting.) ![]()
