Remote offices, edge-installations, even making mass storage available to employees working from home - storage abstraction quickly becomes a way to empower people and services as and when (and where) they are needed. It usually makes good sense to utilize every available megabyte available across a business, yet in the context of resources not necessarily being physically available where they are needed. When it comes to an organization’s data storage, even small startups can very quickly need the kind of data capacity and management that, five years ago were considered “enterprise-like,” but today are run-of-the-mill.Ī case in point is when it becomes useful (and eventually mandatory) for there to be some kind of abstraction of overall storage capacities. However, for many growing organizations, those technology-based turning points often come with hefty price tags: go-to vendors want to start charging enterprise-level fees for services and features that are essential to even modest, medium-sized businesses turning over a lot less than an enterprise’s billions per annum. In technology especially, waypoints as a business grows can be kept track of numerically: perhaps when media archives reach 10TB, or when the dollar cost of disaster recovery system becomes less than the overall business cost of a couple of days’ downtime.

For example, when an organization shifts to a paid tier on freemium platforms, or reaches the point where a single employee who’s been “keeping an eye on the computers” (probably as part of other duties) needs help from - or even the hiring of - a full time IT specialist. In terms of the technology that underpins businesses, you’ll also find junctures along the road that mark a change. For a startup, it might be the first major client coming on board, or a million-dollar deal, or maybe it’s the opening of a second office - most of these junctures happen to every business that lives longer than a few years. As every business grows, it reaches waypoints on its journey that are marked by critical turning points.
