RECENT CLOUD COMPUTING QUOTE:

"Enterprises looking to implement cloud computing typically have numerous issues that they hope the move to the cloud will magically solve. It's no surprise that many of today's IT shops face a huge number of negatives: overly complex enterprise architecture, out-of-control data sprawl, and a huge backlog of app dev work that's not being met, typically in an environment of diminishing budgets.

Newer technology approaches like cloud computing have the potential to make things better. However, it's clear to me that cloud computing won't save you unless you get your own IT house in order first. I see this pattern over and over."
