Developing the cloud services adoption strategy for the National Palace Museum
Hsin-Lu Chang and Kai Wang · 2016
Cloud computing provides a new platform for enterprises. Its core concept encompasses on-demand access and pay-per-use, which compete directly with traditional desktop or handheld computers. The unique characteristics of cloud computing provide incentives for companies to adopt this new technology. Essentially, the cloud is an enabling force for business evolution that extends beyond technology, allowing companies to re-engineer their corporate strategy more efficiently and effectively. The cloud reduces information technology (IT) costs and offers mobility and collaboration, eliminating the need to maintain a computational infrastructure of operating systems and low-level utilities. The cloud thus makes it easier for companies to implement solutions or combine enabling technologies in response to changing market needs and, to some extent, to reduce or eliminate information latency.
