　　Derek Hulitzky A close look at cloud computing's

transformational role in business

initiatives, positively impact business operations and costs, and

how this allows business leaders to shed worry about technology so

they can focus on their business. It also reveals the cloud's

effect on corporate organization structures, the evolution of

traditional IT in the global economy, potential benefits and risks

of cloud models and most importantly, how the IT function is being

rethought by companies today who are making room for the coming

tidal wave that is cloud computing.

potential of cloud computing

reliability, the new role of IT and new business organization

structures

Prosperity in a Relentlessly Competitive World and Essentials of

Supply Chain Management, 2nd Edition

Practical and timely, this book reveals why it's worth every

company's time and effort to exploit cloud computing's potential

for their business's survival and success.
