Also, companies must assess security, privacy and political issues when moving data in the cloud. This makes sense since many small companies don\u2019t have legacy systems, IT staff or in-house infrastructure to prevent them from embracing the cloud. They can use the cloud to leapfrog bigger companies with more mature BI implementations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
