Cloud Computing is Bigger Than IT

Going into a cloud environment, which is happening very quickly, involves a lot more than It issues. IT is often a very large outsourcing exercise, one that requires a lot of thought about compatibility, scalability, privacy, data protection, legal responsibilities, management responsibilities, and so on. For a larger company, moving to the cloud can be a major initiative.For that reason, the federal CIO Council and the federal Chief Acquisitions Officers Council (CAO) recently released a guide to cloud contracting dealing basically with the kinds of issues that should be included in a Cloud outsourcing agreement.. It's worth a look.
