With much talk now going on how cloud computing is to double by 2012, do people really understand cloud as is it not just one up from software outsourcing in a new wrapper that has been effectively been around since the 1980’s or earlier which is an element of Lean?
If outsourcing was more driven and recognised in organisations and businesses sooner maybe we would have got to this stage sooner even 10 years sooner.
Over the last couple of years Lean has been much talked about across organisations and businesses where everyone must become think Lean be Lean but elements of Lean have been used for decades.
What our real challenge is how we ensure these workings are Green Orientated Solutions with the advancement of the term ‘Green Computing’. The term ‘Green Computing’ has been around for many years I think we need to focus more on this when creating and building any wide solution and this would consequently complement the term giving this a larger mainstream workings.
