Management
One of the real problems is management bypassing exisiting IT when making decisions about "going to the cloud". Cloud providers sell them on the idea that talking to their own IT is a waste of time because we're trying to save our jobs and they don't consider that at the same time the provider is just selling them a bill of goods. There are a lot of things that could be made "in the cloud" that make sense, and a lot don't.
Does the provider know anything about your business? Backup? Security? Availability? Call for help? There are trade-offs for everything. Hey we outsourced email, great! Look at the money we're going to save in 7 years. What do you mean it will take a week and 6 levels of requests to get my name added to that group? I used to just call you and it was done.
That's the thing about clouds, you can fly your plane through them but if you don't have instruments are you really sure there's not a mountain on the other side?
