GigaOm recently published an article touting the importance of a "cloud first" strategy, which they describe as "re imagining your analytics platform from the ground up, so that it is available for a public, multi-tenant cloud stack."
Pioneered by Netflix and adopted by Microsoft, this strategy is one that aims to make cloud-based analytics tools available to the entire company.
Do you think "cloud first" strategy is the way of the future? or do you think "cloud ready is good enough for the time-being?
