    Yesterday I took part in the cloud computing panel at SIIA NetGain with moderator John Blossom from Shore Communications. We discussed the concerns for companies moving business to the cloud.

    Larry Schwartz, president of a company called Newstex, approaches the cloud with what he calls a “try first, justify second” approach. This might make sense, but people need to be more cautious when entering the cloud. The urgency is understandable – enterprises are trying to move to the cloud because of its benefits. Be “cautious,” concerns of security, compliance etc. are real. So… make the jump, just use care :-)
