Blogging from Florida

Its interesting how blocked up the mind gets when we never give it a chance to breath.  Now that I've been in Florida for 3 days I finally feel more clarity.  I've been thinking a lot lately about the cloud.  It's interesting how when a new technology movement comes along people will rush out to consume it before really understanding its capabilities or its risks.  Like me moving all my pictures up to Google plus.  Who knows how secure it actually is?

Its time to decide if this cloud is offering life renewing rain or dangerous thunder and lightning.  Take the positive stance.  The ability to enjoy the abundance the cloud has to offer is dependent on our readiness to consume it.  Have we virtualized? Do we have affordable bandwidth?  Are we keeping up on the latest versions of the applications we run?  How do we figure out where to start?

This where we need to make sure we have the best support team.  Both internal and external to our company. Do our vendors put us first or their quotas? Or their manufacturer relationships?  Craft some creative questions to truly understand your vendors motivation.  Talk to their customer list.  Get ready for the road ahead which leads to the airport to fly to the clouds.
