Arguments Against & Challenges to Cloud Computing?• Data in the cloud is vulnerable to hacker attacks
and other security issues• Meeting service level agreements (SLAs)• On-premises systems are less expensive• On-premises systems are still in good shape and
the ROI is yet to be achieved.• The IT Department
• Fear of loss of control, power, and personnel• Changing job responsibilities from “heads down” to
“heads up” end user support• Moving from a purveying mindset to one that also
encompasses sourcing/leveraging
