Cloud computing: the power to optimize manufacturing

PLEASANTON, Calif. - May 1, 2018 - PRLog -- Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. (WWK) (https://www.wwk.com), the global leader in cost and productivity management software and consulting services, announced today that its article titled "Cloud computing: the power to optimize manufacturing" has been published in Solid State Technology magazine.

The article discusses the advantages of cloud computing and the specific advantages it brings to manufacturing optimization.  IBM breaks down the advantages into three areas; flexibility; efficiency; and strategic value.  Flexibility allows the scaling of computing power to the task at hand regardless of the local machine used to connect. Efficiency is accessing the needed applications from anywhere in the world from any connected device.  Strategic value comes from being able to move faster than competitors by not being tied to existing infrastructure and the hesitancy to obsolete major IT investments.
