CFOs, Is The Cloud Within Your Reach?

Technology decision-makers, notably CFOs and CIOs, are facing the reality that their organisation's computing technology and data will likely be "in the cloud." In fact, with the cloud market expected to grow from $40.7 billion in 2011 to $241 billion in 2020, businesses will likely soon grapple with the decision of what to move to cloud, when to move it, and how to transition from an on-premises computing technology environment to a cloud computing technology environment.

The decision on cloud computing is broader than the information technology department and requires a productive working relationship between the CIO and the CFO. With the CFO driving decisions he or she can embrace cloud to catalyse behaviours across the organisation and to execute strategic and financial objectives, while diligently creating a risk intelligent culture.
