It is finally becoming clear that cloud is moving from a mere buzzword to reality for enterprises of all sizes. As Scot Finnie of ComputerWorld notes, “we”re moving out of the ‘why should I do this?’ stage and into the ‘how can I do it?’ phase as companies are looking past the murky issues that plague discussions and focus on actual implementation. Many CIOs are taking a closer look, if they haven’t already, at the possibilities provided by SaaS but the same old issues (security, privacy, compliance, liability, vendor lock-in, customization, etc) are still hurdles that vendors need to clear before mainstream adoption.
