cloud computing is wreaking havoc on established accounting and technology consulting firms, according to cpa david cieslak of arxis technology, which has offices from los angeles to dublin, ireland.
change is coming so hard and fast, cieslak says that for many consultants, “it’s like starting over.”
not long ago, experts like cieslak thought the cloud computing paradigm shift would take years to be fully felt. but now, he says in an interview at the 2012 sage summit, consolidation and shakeout could reduce the number of cpa technology consulting firms by as much as half within as little as three years from now.
