Based on emerging trends, a new class of services is available: cloud services. This gives your technology organization more choices. The challenge is to ascertain how each service is designed, sourced, delivered, and measured against the intended business outcome.
The reality today is that most organizations will manage a hybrid business technology ecosystem comprising services from in-house, traditional hosted service providers, and cloud service providers. You will have to weigh many factors when choosing the right platform for each business service. Those factors include corporate and government regulations, security, availability, cost, and scalability, among other considerations.
