Processing power on demand

The increased bandwidth that our mobile devices now receive enables us to connect to cloud-based technologies easier and faster than ever before. And one thing we know about bandwidth is that it will continue to increase. Because of this, we'll soon be able to take advantage of another trend that I call processing power on demand -- or virtualized processing power.

A mobile device only has a certain amount of processing power. But if you can tap into additional processing power via cloud-based technology, you can turn your mobile device into a super computer where you can do advanced simulations and crunch different data streams together to get real-time analytics. Now your handheld device is as powerful and advanced as your desktop. Imagine the increase in productivity if each of your company's employees had the capability to do complex work that required advanced processing power while they were on the road, armed with nothing more than their mobile device.

What would that shift do to your company's bottom line?
