Book description
A close look at cloud computing's transformational role in business
Covering cloud computing from what the business leader needs to know,
this book describes how IT can nimbly ramp up revenue initiatives,
positively impact business operations and costs, and how this allows
business leaders to shed worry about technology so they can focus on
their business. It also reveals the cloud's effect on corporate
organization structures, the evolution of traditional IT in the global
economy, potential benefits and risks of cloud models and most
importantly, how the IT function is being rethought by companies today
who are making room for the coming tidal wave that is cloud computing.

potential of cloud computing

service reliability, the new role of IT and new business
organization structures

Prosperity in a Relentlessly Competitive World and
