Sitting on The Fence

Another cloud conference and exhibition which is well attended by the Information Technology Professionals who make sure they attend all the Cloud Computing Sessions without fail.
They understand what is said and learn diligently from those who have adopted the cloud, the cloud vendors and the thought leaders but never translate into Action for their organization.

Sitting on the Fence is not going to take you the cloud, you must experience the cloud to appreciated its benefits, attending conferences and exhibitions will make you cloud ready but you will need to lead Cloud Adoption.
You must Bolt over the fence and embrace the cloud as your own and then you will reap the rewards. More surveys show the fence sitters tick "Yes" for cloud adoption but never translate the "Yes" into action.
As an IT Professional are you going to be a fence sitter or do you plan to roll up your sleeves and jump over the fence and take your organization to the cloud.
The choice is yours, but remember those who never cross the fence are going to be stranded when the last cloud bus leaves! Don't complain Nobody told you to jump over the fence!

BIG 5 in Cloud Computing

@larrycincy Larry Carvalho #Cisco , #Oracle and #HP are behind #IBM and #Microsoft on #cloud messages - agree? 20 Apr via HootSuite Favorite Retweet Reply Larry Carvalho's twitter question a few days ago got me thinking and here are my thoughts !

[ 1 ] [ 3 ] The BIG 5 were not enough for this blog, so I have extended the species to include animals from other parts of the world to bring out the impact of M&A. So let us map Larry's BIG five to the African BIG 5; which of the BIG 5 is the best? You can be the judge ! Lion - MICROSOFT African Elephant - IBM
