Life in the Cloud

Small vs large enterprises in the cloud

Episode Summary

“That break-even point will exist somewhere.” Weighing the long-term costs instead of just the initial investment, host Kris Reddy answers questions from Diana Chen breaking down key differences and similarities small businesses face compared to large enterprises when investing and spending on the cloud.

Episode Notes

Kris identifies what public cloud service small businesses prefer, highlighting the rising complexities involved with cloud migration at an enterprise level. Imagine the IT environment's scalability: thousands of machines with thousands of software licenses and different programs running. The workload required to map out and optimize the processes vastly differs from small businesses with maybe five or ten licenses.  

Is it possible that it’s more expensive for businesses to remain on-premise rather than not migrating to the cloud?

Listen to this episode as Kris emphasizes the importance of conducting a proper financial analysis and understanding where a company’s cloud expertise is for management to understand when they would break-even.
