Data Is Location-Agnostic
Thoughts on cloud computing, ubiquitous technology, and data quality.
Cloud computing is all the rage these daysβand not just for newfangled startups. Even mature enterprise vendors are on board. Case in point: Microsoft's latest version of its flagship Office doesn't require CDs and 20-digit registration codes. You only need an Internet connection.
If that doesn't signal a tectonic shift in technology, then I don't know what does. Cloud computing is going mainstream. Deal with it.
