Softworld 2009: the cloud computing debate

The cloud computing debate at this year’s Softworld was something of a let down. I have however managed to pull together some of the more interesting thoughts and insights from the panel in this short (3 mins 36 sec) video. Highlights include:

• It’s all about customers
• Three major benefits
• Security issues
• Richard Messik’s money shot question
• Why should you care?
• The business imperative?

Mamut’s Bryan Richter makes some good points about functional comparisons and whether cloud really matters
