Forrester: Embrace Cloud Computing to Cut Costs

"Forrester Research advises CFOs to take a close look at cloud computing for messaging and collaboration and enterprise applications. The payoffs could be noticeable during the current economic downturn."

In a recent report, analyst Ted Schadler support this advice with the following observations:
  • Cloud based SAAS services enables businesses to get up and running "in a flash"
  • Shipping IT tasks to cloud computing specialists, enables your employed staff to focus on more important business processes.
  • CFO's like the by-the-drink payment plans of cloud computing because it keeps cash in the bank longer.
