Cloud computing is one of those topics that often elicits a mixed reaction in the tech world. Despite any concerns among IT pros, cloud computing is here to stay and is likely to hook itself even deeper into the business world, according to the results of a March survey by Sand Hill Group. As an advisor to market leading companies, Sand Hill interviewed more than 500 IT executives to gauge their opinions and deployment plans on cloud computing. Though certain challenges were found, the survey “Leaders in the Cloud” painted an overall rosy picture of the ability of cloud computing to help cut costs, boost return on equity, improve reliability, and even enhance the image of IT within a company.
