Why Cloud Native is the Smarter Choice for Concrete Producers
Based on 20+ years of Internet technological development, we can see that the mainstream trend is the use of cloud technology to meet the business needs of a wide variety of industries including Ready-Mix Concrete.
Leveraging Cloud software helps streamline core business processes for Concrete Producers by offering a better way to acquire, maintain and act on critical information. Cloud applications promote workforce collaboration and forge a tighter connection with customers to build long-term partnerships and become an extension of their business. True partners act as strategists, focusing on developing a meaningful impact on their customer’s businesses and by adding value. Partners are capable, committed, and willing to invest the time and resources to foster long-term relationships built on trust and transparency. Cloud technology enables these types of partnerships to take shape by offering the tools necessary to improve data management, decision making, and staying connected.

Cloud Native App Development
Cloud Native app development is a way to accelerate how applications are designed and built. The objective is to deliver apps that users want to use at the speed businesses need them. Cloud Native development is an effective approach to designing, building, and updating apps quickly while improving the quality and overall user experience. In short, it’s a way to build and run responsive, scalable, and fault-tolerant apps quickly and effectively.
Cloud Computing
Cloud Native is a direct result of cloud computing. It would not have come into existence without the development of cloud computing. Software development is expected to become simpler and faster as we move forward. Programmers are looking for ways to write fewer lines of code, and develop applications easier and faster. Easier programming languages are also being developed for people who do not have programming skills. As a result, more programming technologies and ideas are being developed every day.
With the development and popularity of cloud computing in recent years, IT infrastructures and software development have become more agile and less complex. In the same way, businesses are no longer plagued by problems related to performance, security, and scalability. The future lies in cloud technology as the foundational element for digital transformation. Sysdyne’s Cloud Native suite of ConcreteGO dispatch, Pioneer Cloud Batch, and iStrada Cloud delivery management will deliver on the value of transformational digitization and continue to transform the Ready-Mix Concrete industry.
