Age of Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS)
We are in the age of Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS), as cloud computing continues to evolve and new terms keep coming out and attempt to provide scope for both the market and industry. CIPS service providers, in the global scale, have only a few due to the global scale operation involved and are capital intensive, and require a global strategy to compete and to seize the reasonable market, compared with those country specific providers.
We are living in the borderless world, the term Kenichi Ohmae used in this book in 1990. The world is flat as Thomas L. Friedman used in his book published 2005, where it continues to be flat. The global phenomena continue to be interconnected digital economies that link up by the Internet in real time across the planet, it continue to redefine what the world can be offer by the digital transformation possibility in term of the scale, speed and scope of business innovation can change the world.
The cost for more and more enterprises to leverage and set up global scale operation is low and lowering as the age goes on, due to technology breakthroughs and reach the mass critical adoption, and become part of the mass standard and norm, and more industry players can offer similar service at the much lower price. Depend on the scale of the operation, in the Age of Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS), you no really need to be specifically be adopt global CIPS service, but you can sourcing around local service provider, what matter most is you know your market and customer well, and you know what work best for your enabling technology and their role in the delivery, be it information or technology digital product as a service.
From 1990 to now 2021, technology innovation keep invent one after another, from close source to open source, from on premise to cloud, and toward pay-as-you-go utility modeling, where enterprise users can be make the massive saving of the capital expenditure upfront as no datacenter building and infrastructure you need to build one, you can just subscribe for what needed and even no hardware in your end involved, due to virtualization and cloud computing in the backend. For most of the enterprise player, modern infrastructure for sure will not be the area they are lag behind, but more on the business strategy and execution side, that is the very core for enterprise, whether in the digital economy or not, the very fundamental unique value business proposition, that differentiate you to the rest of the competition. At the end of the day, it is not access to endless upgrades of the operating system and software that make you perform much better than your competitors, it is your business execution in the market that helps you win the market share.
From the next normal, we continue to see a lot of the enterprises and in particular government related businesses continue to make huge losses, where they continue to cite COVID-19 pandemic and they are not prepared and capable to react to it. This is why they incur huge losses, and require more financial aid and injecting of the capital to run. The reality is from the top to bottom, the entire business is not even considering and implementing what is needed in the age of digital transformation, the bigger the scale you be, the huge loss will be accelerated due to the size and scope.
On another hand, we continue to see enterprises that adapt to the change, even in the industry like from airline to travel, under the strong leadership, they are transforming and adapting to the changing world. They are willing to redefine and do what is necessary to move on. You think the market will favor which type of enterprise and which one is more likely to survive? Age of Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS), the market just like the history book, will repeatedly tell the same story, for whoever can adapt and transform will become what the market needs for now and for the future.
