Businesses today are faced with an exponential increase in the rate of change. IT systems need to be more flexible, scalable and responsive to meet the demands of today's fast paced business environment. Organizations will find it increasingly difficult to cope up with spikes in technology advancements. In many ways, outsourcing can be seen as the first wave, enabling businesses to focus on their core competencies. With availability of fast and reliable connectivity, cloud computing is a natural evolution, to a world where computing resources are available off the grid. 

The current recessionary trend seems to have accelerated a move towards cloud based technologies, to the extent that Gartner has rated it the #1 strategic technology area to watch out for in their annual symposium in late 2009. The term cloud computing has come to encompass several technologies, but it can largely be viewed in three basic forms – infrastructure as a service; platform as a service and software as a service. A myriad of providers have cropped up, each claiming to offer cloud services, and it is very important for organizations to cut the clutter and understand how they can leverage this paradigm technology shift in ways that can help them to be more agile, grow faster and compete better in the market.
