Simply put it allows organizations to avoid the huge capital expense of procuring IT infrastructure, but rather devout their expenditure to recurrent payments which are less likely to break the bank. The economics on the flip side for the Cloud company is that; "There is strength in Numbers" Maintain infrastructure and migrate according to capacity demands. Hence Only what is required gets paid for. What does this translate to within the Nigerian Technology Domain. Where there is still a great shortage of bandwidth. However, the cost is through the roof. I spoke to a client today whose gripe was this. The cost of a 1meg connection in the Netherlands is about $20, whereas he is forced to pay a whopping $900 per month for guess what? 192Kbps....."isn't that accelerated dialup speeds'? Well it is what it is....Internet in Nigeria Has failed to move from Product to Tool. What is your take on this, and any thoughts for a progression in the positive direction.
