Success Factors for Deploying Cloud Computing

摘要

Cloud computing services can provide IT functionality to small and large organizations alike. Organizations throughout the industrialized world, challenged by competition and government regulation, show strong interest in cloud computing to help reduce operating costs and increase business agility while addressing their computing and data-storage needs.18 While many benefits are associated with cloud computing, one key to success is for the client organization to use its IT-related capability to leverage cloud-provided resources. Organization-specific IT capabilities, coupled with homogeneous information technologies, promise a differentiated IT environment that can be a source of competitive advantage. Management and market factors being equal, organizations that develop and strengthen their IT-related capabilities are likely to realize greater value from their investment compared to organizations that implement only a cloud resource.
