Cloud Computing offerings during a recession

CentricMinds has been developing a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering of our Enterprise Web Content Management System since late 2007. With expected economic retraction during 2009, organisations seeking new WCMS solutions to drive innovation and improvement within their existing web investments should now seriously consider cloud computing offerings.

Kathleen Lau of Computerworld Canada outlines seven reasons why cloud computing works in a tough economy. Lower up-front costs, faster time to market, lower capital expenditure and decreased downtime all spotlight compelling reasons why small to medium organisations as well as the enterprise should be considering 'pay as you need' as a strategy in delivering content management and collaboration tools under a subscription model.

Jeremy Geelan of the Cloud Computing Journal goes on to define the Recession Survival Kit which adopts cloud computing as a strategy to bolster existing customers and growing existing talent within your team.

The CentricMinds Content Center is a on-demand WCMS environment based on Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing groups to collaborate on web content and documents. You can try it for free, or sign up on a plan that suits your needs and budget.
