The document discusses whether companies should adopt cloud computing in 2010 and how to address risks. It provides examples of companies successfully using cloud computing. The key points are:
- Cloud computing offers opportunities for quick wins and cost savings but also risks that must be mitigated.
- Companies that plan and execute cloud strategies will be better positioned than those that do not.
- Major companies entrust key data to public clouds like Salesforce, showing security concerns need not prevent cloud adoption.
- Standards, careful partner selection, governance and pilot projects can help address security, control and other risks.
