The cloud remains the go-to transformation platform for companies aiming to lead the pack and embrace the latest game-changing technologies. From GenAI and automated shop floors to software-defined vehicles and smart meters, the tech innovations set to shake up industries demand robust cloud capabilities and a deep understanding of cloud evolution.
Here are some predictions about the cloud’s evolution:
Cloud is set to elevate edge computing, especially with ultra-low latency through 5G. This strategic shift combines cloud infrastructure with edge capabilities, offering agility and economic efficiency. Examples include automakers enhancing vehicle computing capabilities and real-time processing on factory floors.
Growing interest in cloud economics will lead to more tailored cloud portfolios for enhanced ROI. In 2024, CFOs and COOs will steer the cloud consumption narrative, focusing on optimizing ROI through a cost-conscious yet value-driven approach, especially with the help of advanced analytics and automation from GenAI.
Accelerated industry cloud adoption will transform healthcare, finance, and highly regulated industries. Specialized cloud solutions enhance data security, ensure compliance, and modernize IT, accelerating innovation and operational efficiency. Industry clouds are becoming a linchpin for businesses in their digital transformation journey.
Multicloud and hybrid cloud are set to outshine single-cloud models in 2024, becoming crucial not just for a competitive edge but also for regulatory compliance. To make the most of multi-cloud, businesses need solid protocols, including tight data management, advanced security, smooth workload mobility, and comprehensive governance.
Interactive AI is gearing up to revolutionize customer service in 2024, leveraging cloud power for enhanced GenAI interaction capabilities. We might see the world’s first zero-touch call centers, taking customer service to a whole new level with tasks beyond traditional chatbots.
In 2024, the cloud will remain a strong value driver for enterprises seeking to innovate rapidly, harmonize their data, and deliver new forms of value to customers.

Everyone’s favorite time of year – tax season – is creeping up on the calendar. Monday, April 18, may feel far away, but the filing deadline will be here before we know it. Tax season is prime time for online scams!
a 2017 Identity Fraud Study by Javelin Strategy & Research revealed that nearly one in three consumers reported that their data has been breached and become victims of identity fraud. So, what do you do to stay safe?
Be Aware of Phishing, Email and Malware Scams
Cybercriminals will try to get you to act so they can steal your personal information. Keep an eye out for unsolicited emails, text messages, social media posts prompting you to click a link or to share personal or financial information. If opened, these files can be harmful to your computer or social device and you might lose access to your personal files.
Fraudulent Tax Returns Are Out There
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) strongly recommends filing your tax return ASAP. If you submit your tax information early, it becomes impossible for a fraudster to submit another return with your personal information.
Only share your Social Security number when it’s necessary and with a trusted contact (financial advisor).
Never throw papers with personal information like your Social Security number or bank account information in the trash without shredding them!
Passwords and Secure Logins
Keep your software updated, including your computer’s security! Add the strongest authentication tools to your computer and files (like 2FA) will protect key accounts from being accessed.
When in doubt, trust your intuition. Happy tax season and remember these tips when filing your taxes this year. The myCREcloud team is here to help if you need assistance with accessing your Sage and Quickbooks tax information.

At myCREcloud we are committed to providing our clients with a holistic approach to cloud computing. Taking a holistic approach to cloud implementation means considering the people, processes and technology involved. This approach will ensure that myCREcloud has a positive impact on your business for years to come.
A Holistic Approach Place careful focus needs to be placed on the who, the what and the how of cloud in order to get to the benefits of a successful cloud.
Three key factors
The Who: People To be able to implement the successfully, we must think about the users. Who are they? What type of cloud services do they need? The requirements of both business and technical users must be considered – a developer is likely to have far broader and more complex cloud service requirements than a sales user. IT engineers also need to consider the level of empowerment they will deliver to their end users – and whether their cloud management platform is flexible enough to support that empowerment.
The What: Process Now, the fun really begins; defining what processes must be implemented to drive user satisfaction and ensure the cloud matches the business. The processes around ensuring myCREcloud conforms to the same security, auditing and regulatory and operational compliance standards of traditional IT – and that these management elements can be automated during cloud provision – must be defined. Additionally, defining processes related to managing the performance of cloud services and the capacity of cloud resources across both private and public clouds are essential, so that cloud availability and cost can be optimized.
The How: Technology At myCREcloud, we believe that the cloud needs to integrate across existing IT systems and processes, including processes such as change management and testing. For peace of mind around future proofing, keep in mind that the cloud works across a broad range of underlying resources – from physical to virtual servers to different storage and network providers to converged infrastructures.
