What Savings?
I hear a lot about this but have yet to see any real savings.
When the entire cost of moving to the cloud is considered with out the Need for Additional Security not provided by the Cloud Provider I have yet to see any real saving gained.
What has always been the sticking point is No Internet = No Cloud and that always means No Work. Happens a lot more than some people are willing to admit here at least. What the companies may save in local Hardware is soon eaten up by the increased costs of the ISP because they require so much more bandwidth.
Add to that the possibility of their encrypted Data being let loose onto the WWW and all I can see is a major expense with no savings. Well at least not for the individual companies may be a massive saving for the Cloud Providers but as they are not my customers I'm not overly concerned about them.
