New book lets business leaders get to grips with Cloud Computing
August 16, 2011
Business leaders left scratching their heads over how to harness the power of Cloud computing can rest easy with a new book ‘Navigating through the Cloud’ launched internationally today by Rob Livingstone Advisory.
Dubbed the practical guide to all aspects of Cloud computing, the book helps business leaders make informed strategic decisions about the benefits, challenges and risks of adopting Cloud computing solutions…
According to author Rob Livingstone, “Cloud computing is now the hot topic in IT and industry globally for its capacity to lower an organisation’s IT costs, improve system usability, accelerate application implementations and ultimately improve service delivery. Yet a lot of confusion remains about the hidden costs of adopting Cloud, how to manage its unique risks and governance concerns, and how the industry defines the concept as a whole.
“This book cuts through the hype and provides business leaders with simple and practical guidance on the implications of adopting Cloud solutions and how to evaluate the business case for adopting Cloud computing.
“The insights I share in the book are drawn from 16 years of experience as CIO in multinationals across a number of industries. In this time I have handled many of the issues business executives are concerned with when evaluating technology investments for their business.”
