Demystifying the World of Cloud Computing.

It’s now a fact, cloud computing is here to stay. What do you, as a CGA, need to know to protect yourself and your customers financial data? What legal and regulatory responsibilities do you have, and which cloud options are available? But more importantly, which cloud ‘facts’ are just simply not true.
IT organizations need to begin thinking and operating more like a service provider. They should be able to describe their offerings as services based on attributes such as business value, compliance, security, availability and performance. Technology options should be mapped to service offerings and the costs associated with those cloud services. This approach can help to drive more efficient delivery of IT services and increase user satisfaction whether a cloud approach is ultimately pursued or not.
