If you give a CFO a Cloud
If you give a CFO a cloud,
He’s going to ask for ROI analysis,
When you give him the ROI analysis,
He’ll probably ask you for an executive summary,
When he’s finished, he’ll ask for a meeting with the head of IT.
Then he’ll want to look in his calendar to make sure he doesn’t have another meeting.
When he looks into the calendar
He might notice a meeting with the CEO to discuss cost reductions.
So he’ll probably ask for a couple of short term cost reduction examples.
When he’s finished making himself familiar with those examples,
He’ll want a business unit to try it on first.
He’ll start thinking.

Cloud computing and the 1st amendment
I am regular member of the ANX blog squad, as such I am on the hook every other week to turn in my post. If that’s not enough the other ANX bloggers are pretty damn smart and creative, so there is a high standard to meet in order to stay in the game hence my creativity should stay on high alert all the time.

At ANX, we are thankful for the small things like...
- Thank you for all the cloud computing providers that makes computing-power a utility service for the masses.

Cloud Computing - The Devil is in the details
Unless you were living in a cave, far from any civilization, chances are you heard about The Cloud. The next big thing! The ultimate solution for all IT business illnesses. Of course, I am exaggerating but cloud initiatives are backed by major players like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, EMC and others.
Cloud means many things to many people: if you take the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) approach the cloud is a hosting solution that will eliminate the need for companies to maintain their own hardware, for others it is a utility service that will allow businesses to consume unlimited computing resources right when they need them and release them back to the cloud when they are done. If you take the Software as a Service (SaaS) approach the cloud provides applications that are...
