Get Your Head in the Cloud
The document discusses cloud computing and its advantages for businesses. Specifically, it notes that cloud computing involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. It advocates that businesses should focus on their core competencies and outsource non-essential tasks like IT that can be provided more cheaply and efficiently in the cloud. Some key benefits of cloud computing mentioned include low upfront costs, flexibility to quickly access more resources as needed, and having the provider manage the infrastructure.
