Cloud computing the answer to technological debt

Technological debt under control

The reluctance to invest in modern solutions leads to an increase in technological debt. Infrastructure that is not adapted to modern standards becomes inefficient, which generates an increase in operating costs. Instead of regularly implementing changes and striving to optimize costs, entrepreneurs are forced to make a significant evolutionary leap, which results in significant financial expenditures.

In such a situation, cloud computing comes to the rescue. As Piotr Szypułka says, moving resources to the cloud eliminates investments related to the purchase and maintenance of hardware and necessary software:

The provider takes responsibility for delivering a high-quality environment. This allows IT departments to focus on creating competitive advantages for the company and developing products and services.

Democratization of IT

Even small businesses have the opportunity to take advantage of the same modern technology used by market giants. A cloud-based environment has the same quality and availability parameters, regardless of the size of the client.

In practice, this means that a small online store gains access to innovative tools that industry leaders use. For SMEs, this means increasing competitiveness and leveling the playing field in the market.

Currently, the cloud is primarily a universal tool used in the same model by companies with different specialties for different purposes – as explained by Maciej Kawecki, the president of the Institute of Poland’s Future and S. Lem.

Time to speed up

The cloud already increases a company’s competitive advantage from the start. Migrating resources to the cloud not only ensures cost optimization while maintaining continuity of operations and data security but also enables catching up on technological debt.
