The confessions of a Cloud ERP Consultant....

I implement Cloud ERP for a living. I tell customers about how safe is Cloud and how it eases their operations.

The key argument to prospects is that it makes your desktop thin by making applications and reports available on demand.

But here is the problem. I still use the office applications installed on my desktop to create my documentation. I don't normally use Google Docs or Office 365. I still save my photos on my desktop.

It is not the money.

It is the mindset.

I may be a cloud consultant. But I still want to save the documents on my desktop. Every fortnight, I want to save them in my backup device, just in case. I want to feel in control.

In my recent interview (ttps://https://lnkd.in/gSygmY5) with Kurtis Lilford I talk about the 'Culture of Cloud Adoption in an Organization'. If the Organization has a culture of storing their data in Cloud and accessing it from anywhere, they are much more likely to adopt Cloud, I opine in that interview.

I believe in Cloud. I think that this is the future.

But then, these habits come in the way.

If I as an individual finds it difficult to change my habits, imagine changing the habits of a company with hundreds of employees like me.

No wonder Organizations remain skeptical. Change Management is a monster in transformation.
