European businesses tend to be more pragmatic about their technology decisions than US companies, following the leading edge of developments rather than being first adopters. It’s good practice to carefully evaluate cloud options, to fully understand your requirements and avoid throwing away earlier IT investments too soon. That way, SMBs and enterprises can avoid any misunderstandings and meet their expectations around cloud offerings.

Thanks, George: 'we are where we are' has no value without looking at where we were and how we got there, which of course has to include legacy:
- systems
- investments
- people and other resources
