Cloud Adoption
Companies are finding that the cloud enables them to increase their focus on innovation, work more collaboratively, release better software faster, and even transform their IT processes — if they can ensure security and privacy.
The move to cloud-based Microsoft Office 365 is a great test case for the public cloud model, because when you move to Office 365, you not only get the economic benefits of not having to buy and maintain your own infrastructure to run Office, Exchange, or Sharepoint, you also get better features. However, from a security perspective, a wholesale move to the cloud should not begin under the guise of a licensing agreement with Microsoft. You can't leverage the advanced economic opportunities of the cloud if you have to compromise security.
