In just a few years, cloud computing has transformed from an ambitious concept into a mainstream tool. As CIOs need to operate a lightweight, leaner and more efficient IT shop, cloud-based applications and services have been well received by CIOs working to support the highly demanding and dramatically changing enterprise. However, many things are still unknown about the cloud. For example: How do technology executives know that data is secure? Which data stays on premise and which goes into the cloud?

As an IT leader, now is the time to produce real business value for your organization.
