Cloud Computing can enable you to drive down the costs of your IT function. In Cloud Computing, data is no longer stored in-house and software applications will no longer be owned by your company. Instead, computing is shifted to a shared service provider. Once you adopt Cloud Computing, you will then be charged for use of software applications and data storage in the same way you are currently charged for electricity. In an era of tight budgets, the opportunity to make financial savings means that Cloud Computing looks especially attractive.
