Not only will it result in increased risk for human errros and network unreliability, but also higher operating costs.
BT: Beyond Productivity - How the cloud will (and won't) make you people more productive
Everyone, it seems, is talking about the cloud. This white paper is one of a series that aims to move beyond the hype that currently surrounds the cloud. This paper looks at enabling people to be more productive. It identifies collaboration as one of the means of delivering productivity and asks, how, if at all, will this be impacted by the cloud?
Blade Network Technologies: Data Center Networking - Redefining the total area network
Today's financial services transactions happen not between people, but between servers. Even still, a sophisticated server with dozens of cores and bytes of memory is virtually useless unless it has a network cable running out of the back. The phrase "going online" is as antiquated as the dial-up connection because the assumption is that if you are using a computer, you are networked to the world.

Orange Business Systems: Machine to machine - stakes and prospects
Communication between machines opens up impressive scope for innovation. Although a recent development, Machine To Machine (M2M) technology is now sufficiently mature that large numbers of companies are confident enough in its potential to launch their own projects; projects that include innovation in services and practices, business process optimisation and compliance with developing regulations.
Orange Business Services: Bringing ideas to reality - a joint innovation perspective
When innovation is discussed, people often say "it's all about execution; ideas are easy" or "innovation is about creativity and only creative people can innovate." Experience has shown, however, that generating a good idea that can be executed rapidly requires a good process and an organisation's ability to learn. This learning process must take place internally, through a culture of knowledge sharing, and externally, from the ecosystem of value-add partners.
Orange Business Services: Consolidation - pitfalls and process
This is the age of global commerce. Organisations have expanded to meet the needs of the global marketplace. Expansion means they can service new markets and respond to opportunities in every part of the globe. This expansion has been at a cost. As organisations acquire new companies and merged divisions, the IT infrastructure becomes more and more difficult to manage. Integrating these disparate parts is more and more challenging.

Cisco: Collaboration - know your enthusiasts and laggards

Executives and managers want to know who stands to gain the most from collaboration, and the real benefits. Collaboration brings people and information together to accomplish a common goal. What's new today is that in a connected world, people no longer have to be in the same location, time zone, or culture to collaborate.
Orange Business Services: Why more is less - justifying the economics of upgrading your network
What is the biggest bottleneck in your business? What is the greatest time cost for your company's employees? If asked, probably few people would say "the network", but we're willing to bet that it is in the top five. Once you factor in security breaches, network downtime and remote workers struggling for connectivity, a poor network quickly becomes an easily recognisable cost to your business.
