Here’s a prediction for the new decade: the “cloud” will be the dominant force in every company’s digital transformation strategy, including all aspects of data storage, data processing and software delivery. You don’t have to be a soothsayer to know that this prediction will come true – it has already happened in many companies and many industries over the past few years. 

It’s hard to believe that the phrase “paperless office” was first used over 40 years ago. The original motivation may have been to save trees (and we may not be anywhere near achieving that ideal just yet), but the proliferation of computers and the sheer processing power available has increased efficiency and throughput by an order of magnitude.
