When I interview folks about technology implementations, one of my go-to questions is whether their biggest challenges involved technical problems or cultural issues. Guess what? It’s always culture.
Cloud computing is no exception. When I wrote a story about cloud computing back in April, one of the folks I interviewed was Bernard Golden, CEO of HyperStratus, a consulting company specializing in virtualization and cloud computing, and the author of “Virtualization for Dummies.” He thought quite a few IT organizations would struggle with the process changes required to enjoy the benefits of cloud computing. For example, the cloud will call for shifts in processes as basic as budgeting, which will no longer involve submitting funding requests based upon relatively simple hardware and software cost calculations. He told me:

If IT organizations want to take advantage of cloud computing, they will have to modify or even jettison many of their existing processes.
