Data Migration and Cloud-Based Analytics

There can be no doubt that technology trends over the years point to a rapid change in user requirements.

While PC sales continue to plummet, smartphone sales continue to soar and innovative devices such as Chromebooks are increasing their market share dramatically, poaching customers that, traditionally, would rely on desktop programs that can now be fully accessed in the cloud.

Their push into analytics with'Cloud Machine Learning' demonstrates their eagerness to challenge the offerings from their big-name competitors, such as IBM and Microsoft, entering an already crowded marketplace.
