Adopting Cloud computing can save money, but good governance is essential to manage the risk.
Cloud computing provides organizations with an alternative way of obtaining IT services and offers many benefits including increased flexibility as well as cost reduction. However many organizations are reluctant to adopt the Cloud because of concerns over information security and a loss of control over the way IT service is delivered. These fears have been exacerbated by recent events reported in the press including outages by Amazon[1] and the 3 day loss of Blackberry services from RIM[2]. So what approach can an organization take to ensure that the benefits of the Cloud outweigh the risks?
