More are heading to the cloud

    Don't let the cloud rain on your IT
The growth of that misnomer called "the cloud" is proceding very quickly. It seems that IT departments everywhere are reduced to entrusting their resources and assets to an outsourced concern because they lack the technology and competent personel to handle their own business.

This is largely due to the lazier than lazy decision makers who are typically unqualified to do any work in the IT field relegating them to be in control.

This amassing of the incompetence to other peoples computers has me concerned from a standpoint of ownership. When you don't control your own data there is little to be said when a third party compromises or loses yours ...

The lesson brewing here is "it's your farm, take care of it yourself". Taking care of business means precisely that. If you lack the skills to do your own work then you deserve whatever you get. I don't wish bad on you but have this rising suspicion that compromised and lost data are that which we are cultivating with all this inability to handle matters ourselves.

Too many in IT cannot handle their own affairs.
