What “the cloud” really means to IT leaders
The IT director of a top City law firm told me recently that if he receives a sales call from an IT supplier and they mention the words “cloud computing”, he says no and puts the phone down.

It is fair to say that phrase has achieved notoriety in taking the shortest time from buzzword-creation to CIO-cynicism.
There is no shortage of opportunities for IT leaders to listen to suppliers telling them why they should be going into the cloud. Cloudwash has replaced greenwash as the focus for marketing brochure hype.

More than anything else, what “the cloud” really offers IT leaders is the opportunity to innovate.
