Many of our clients have asked us why we are so excited about the cloud. This article from the Wall Street Journal touches on what the cloud is and why it is gaining more and more traction. Whether you embrace it or not businesses of all sizes are moving to the cloud and you need to be joining them.

it would very interesting to see how quickly financial institutions adopt cloud computing as a way of doing business.
It will indeed Mike!
If it is like other technology advances I am guessing the vast majority of CUs will be on the back end of the curve in implementing cloud technologies (similar to online banking, mobile, and other advances of the past) however that does give progressive Credit Unions who are willing to take a leap a chance to get a step ahead of the game and save some real dollars and gain some real value by harnessing cloud technology. It will be an interesting next five years across all IT departments and I am very excited to see what plays out.
how do we embrace cloud computing?
Hi Charlie,
To really embrace cloud computing you need to start understanding what cloud computing is and how it can help your organization. After you have an understanding you need to start implementing and using cloud systems that will save your organization money. If you would like to discuss this process in much more detail please contact me at daniel@parachuteapplications.com.
