Moving to the cloud can help an organization respond more rapidly to market changes and customer demand. Additionally, operating cost reduction is top of mind for most CIOs, and a move to the cloud helps manage the budget by providing flexible services based on business needs.

 

When establishing your cloud platform and services it is critical to approach via a series of assessments that define your business processes, as well as the application portfolio that will meet and grow with the requirements of your users. Planning for this on-demand scaling of resources means you will be able to meet the requirements of the most demanding clients and projects.

Jeremy, Useful thoughts on the design and building of the cloud.  I agree that a move to the Cloud is likely to help better manage the budget.  It might even realize cost savings.  But, are CIOs ready to answer the ROI question on Cloud Computing?  I wonder.
