摘要
The growing availability of cloud computing provides opportunities to manage costs-by effectively outsourcing selected information technology (IT) functions. But like all other outsourcing decisions, you must conduct a careful analysis-to ensure that potential savings outweigh both costs and the risks of ceding control to an outside vendor. This article provides guidance for managers considering cloud computing as a cost management strategy. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
