Doing Business in the Cloud – Implications for Cost, Agility and Innovation
27 August 2009
This report is designed to help business and IT leaders both understand and assess the implications of the cloud computing phenomenon. While there has been a lot of IT marketplace hype, and it is easy to dismiss cloud computing as just another computer industry buzzword, we believe this would be unwise. The phrase ‘cloud computing’ captures the essence of IT-based innovation today and points the way toward important future economic, business and technology trends. Just as previous IT eras (such as mainframes, personal computers and the Internet) have led to important business and economic changes, so will the cloud. This report describes, in largely non-technical language, the nature of those changes, and what they mean to business and IT executives alike. We show that the cloud is already a powerful platform that is helping world-class organisations operate faster, more flexibly and effectively, and at a substantially lower cost.
