The Business Case For Cloud Computing with Kevin Jackson

"Cloud computing is a risk management exercise"

In this episode, Dormain talks with Kevin L. Jackson (@Kevin_Jackson), author of "Click to Transform," about the business case for cloud computing. Kevin argues that the real value is in delivering products better, faster, and to more people. In many cases this involves a jump from physical products to virtual experiences. But the technology isn't the hard part; shifting to an ecosystem approach is much harder.

What about cost savings in the cloud? Kevin points out that cloud computing will cost more if it's not accompanied by a change in operating models.
