Emerging platforms are new technology developments and business models for which a theory is yet to be formulated, and yet there are rapid, radical innovations happening in their field.
In this article, we will learn about one such platform - Cloud Computing by doing a critical assessment of its current trends, appreciate the challenges in implementing it and gain a perspective on how this technology impacts business outcomes.
Cloud computing is a suite of tools which enables companies to lease their digital assets somewhere ‘in the cloud’. So unlike the ‘on-premise’ data centers, the location of computers, applications and databases that employees are using is unknown.
The point is to free companies from details and ‘rent’ whatever is needed from the cloud. They don’t need to buy and thus the IT expenses are switched from fixed capital to operating expenses.

Apart from doing away with purchasing and installing massive data centers and making information available on web browsers, cloud has several benefits:
The IT department has to perform the repetitive task of creating a folder for each user and granting them the required access. If the folder details are to be shared with anyone else, the requisition has to again be routed via the IT department. In contrast, a cloud environment can enable self administration of accounts.
The cloud is still in its infancy stage and hence is an emerging platform. There is a fast increase in the number of cloud vendors; they are trying to be creative and segregate their offerings. In times ahead, there are expected to be transformative changes in this field and wider acceptance of the technology.
