Since 2007, the San Jose semiconductor-maker, a spin-off of Agilent Technologies Inc., has moved one application after another from its internal servers to software that runs online, the system known as cloud computing. Companies like Google Inc., Workday Inc. and Authoria Inc. are now or soon will be hosting Avago’s recruiting, human resources, e-mail and Web security over the Internet.
The changes have saved the company millions by eliminating hardware needs and software licenses; improved security, speed and storage; and freed up employees from trivial tasks like managing their e-mail and enabled them to focus on their jobs.
