CFO’s Perspective: In Choosing the Right Cloud

How can organizations make wise cloud deployment decisions? An article in Computerworld suggests how CFO’s can take the opportunity to model new impacts on revenue, profits, margins and risks while migrating their organizations to the cloud. In order to come up with the best results, senior executives need to work with their IT team. With development comes challenges, and the article cites 5 guide questions that can be raised with CIO’s:

Furthermore, organizations will be equipped with capabilities far beyond the costly servers they already had on site.
