Recent study suggests 36% percent of companies surveyed had at least one SaaS or cloud-based application and an additional 25% planned to move a business application to the cloud.
Only 13% had no plans to add a cloud or SaaS-based project. The top reason 39% had not yet moved into cloud computing? They were unclear on the potential benefits of cloud computing.
The amount of information--and hype--about cloud computing has been so intense in the IT industry for the last couple of years that it seems almost impossible for someone in the industry to not understand the basic concept and benefits of cloud computing.
There is no source of information that can comprehensively answer whether cloud computing will be a financial benefit for a specific company or not. So, at some point, CIO(s) at companies that don't adopt new technology easily have to roll up their sleeves and figure out how a new technology does or doesn't match their requirements.
It's like buying a first car for your kid; you look at the ads, check out some deals, but you're basically going through the motions because you know you're going to buy something cheap. If you're talking about the family car, or say you want a Mercedes or something in that class, you're going to sharpen your pencil and do a little more homework on pricing and reliability and long-term finances.
