Cloud Based Options Are The Latest Innovation For SME

Innovation was the keyword that brought you business success and to the Internet where you can chase and find profits on a global scale. One of the best ways to stay abreast of what’s happening on the ever changing landscape of e-commerce is to make sure you keep an eye on big business and what they’re doing as far as the latest innovations go.

Amazon is by all accounts one of the leading retailers who have blazed trails as far as finding the way to make things work online but as recent articles show there’s always a case to be made for moving into largely uncharted waters carefully. It seems that this guru of online retail inadvertently stepped on a few toes when they set up their Cloud Player which they touted as a media playback and management system that could be accessed and worked from the Cloud.

Innovative yes, but perhaps a little more pre-planning might have gone into the idea as recent trade reports have some music industry types complaining that Amazon didn’t consult them first on the licenses needed to operate one of these cloud based storage and music players. Amazon of course has fired back saying that no special licenses are needed here…it’s all very reminiscent of Napster.

Still there’s no way that serious business can put blinders on when to comes to what the Cloud can do and it’s looking more and more like e-commerce will need to learn the ropes for any content strategy in the near future. More and more of the big players are getting involved and HP has recently announced a bunch of new solutions that will help companies transition their applications to the Cloud. There are benefits to this kind of forced transition as well and one of the bigger ones involves a more streamlined data center.
