Legacy computing is often referred to as captive computing because it requires an organization to devote a tremendous amount of money and effort to maintaining the technologies they've selected. Once that decision has been made an organization is typically tied to that solution for many years, holding them captive to a solution that may no longer suit the needs of the organization. Today, cloud computing offers an alternative that can help organizations become more flexible and take advantage of technical evolution without tying themselves to the technology for long periods of time. The "pay as you go" opportunities provided by cloud solution providers afford businesses the opportunity to procure products, people and solutions, as they're needed and only for as long as they're needed. This gives organizations greater cost transparency and allows them to abandon a solution when it no longer fits their needs. The products and services that used to be maintained locally within an organization are now broadly available from vendors offering 'as a service' features. While these services can provide significant value to an organization by reducing capital expense and reducing the amount of human intervention required to perform these tasks.  At Brinton Kay we understand that customers can become overwhelmed by the rapid adoption of cloud technologies. The industry changes quickly and the technologies are evolving rapidly. When organizations plan to take the journey into the cloud on their own, they quickly find that it requires specialists to translate their business requirements into the most granular work packages so that they can be transformed and procured as a service.
