Cloud has topped the \u201cone to watch\u201d technology lists of every pundit, analyst and business leader for the last two decades. Touted as the solution to immortality, health, wealth, happiness and space travel, cloud is a mission-critical system with remarkably high potential for access, accessibility and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, cloud is also a remarkably underutilized technology \u2014 one defined by a high focus on data storage but a lower consideration for insight generation. The first generation of cloud centered around storage, apps and the emergence of software as a service<\/a>. The second iteration saw IT teams modernize work practices and deliver greater capability. The next generation of cloud computing<\/a> will be defined by accessibility.<\/p>\n

Despite unprecedented change over the last few years \u2014 with businesses held back by historic organizational moves, skills shortages and shifting competitive landscapes \u2014 the need for insights to compete and thrive is higher than ever. The ability to generate those insights, however, is dictated by two factors: Firstly, the amount of data to be analyzed; secondly, the bottleneck of data scientists in-role to analyze it.<\/p>\n

While there is a huge and often overarching focus on cutting-edge capabilities, with more data available than ever before and an increasing shortage of data scientists to manage it, 2023 is the year when accessible cloud computing will hit its stride. This technology can go much further when insight generation is put in the hands of those with the most to gain.<\/p>\n

Cloud computing: Putting the right technology in the right hands<\/h2>\n

Ultimately, any technology is only as effective or impactful as the person using it. This also rings true for cloud computing. Over the next decade, the most valuable cloud computing advances will be those that magnify and amplify human potential on a wider scale \u2014 provided organizations can merge access and accessibility requirements and bring their human experts to the forefront.<\/p>\n
