Be Able To Adjust

Northington says cloud technology is still advancing, not that the capabilities of cloud aren't advanced already, but because the capabilities are growing further and faster as time goes on, it’s important to be flexible with your strategy so you can take on the new capabilities. Stay ahead of the curve.

"Once you have the strategy, you’ve also got to keep the strategy fresh because the technology is expanding quickly and evolving quickly," Northington said. "The capabilities are moving very fast in a positive way. Be able to move your strategy over time. Be able to adjust and take advantage of the rapid evolution of cloud technology. Realize it’s changing quickly and be able to take advantage of the capabilities as they’re emerging."
