value and revenue potential of the Cloud

A new business model is sweeping the world--the Cloud. And,

uncertainty, and doubt surrounding cloud computing.
Cloudonomics radically upends the conventional wisdom,

value--whether you are a customer, a provider, a strategist,
or an investor. Cloudonomics covers everything you need to
consider for the delivery of business solutions, opportunities, and
customer satisfaction through the Cloud, so you can understand
it--and put it to work for your business. Cloudonomics
also delivers insight into when to avoid the cloud, and why.
