Imagine this scenario: you finally realized your childhood dream of inventing and manufacturing your own line of bendy straws (we are labeling you as a “visionary”).   Within months, competition arises, but you believe you have the advantage of product design and costs.   Soon enough, you find out your competition is selling their product at 70% of your price.   No amount of cost cutting you can think of will allow competition with such a discount and your short reign as king or queen of the flexible-drinking-experience-augmentation market is over.

Businesses are starting to realize en masse that ignoring the potentials of this phenomenon can prove costly. Though new to the consumer market, IT professionals have been throwing around the buzzword of cloud computing for years. The idea is nearly 50 years old, though only recently picking up speed for commercial enterprises.
