The New Cloud Era Of Data-Platform-Hosted Apps

Today, it’s common for companies to buy computing power and storage from cloud providers like Amazon and Google. While their business models are largely centered on computing and storage, some cloud providers also sell tools that enable customers to build their own applications. An issue with that, however, is that it’s up to users to understand how to locate, store and process the data needed to build applications. It requires that companies find the people with the right skills to do so and can be a time-consuming, costly endeavor—and on top of that, they have to solve the security and compliance issues that come with having multiple copies of data.
