The Accountant will harvest the benefits of cloud !

Today I had the honor to address a small focused group of Chartered Accountants ( the Indian CPA) on cloud computing.
Their ability to grasp quickly the business benefits, the huge economics by moving to OPEX and their experience in financing cost and time over run IT projects made them see the benefits of cloud computing adoption.
The local Chapter of ICAI have now decided to include Cloud Computing in their Continuing Education was heartening.

The Accountant will Harvest the Benefits of Cloud !

Many of them were seasoned system auditors and senior professionals in government and corporate in Mumbai. It was indeed a pleasure to see how quickly they could identify the challenges in cloud computing from a legal and data security point of view and its offering as an utility.
They were quick to seize the benefits of cloud computing for business, the accelerated time to market and the benefits of starting small with a few SAAS cloud solutions and also the need for a Cloud Strategy coupled with ROI and financials and Vendor Risk.
Today's experience has convinced me that the future of computing is the cloud will be transformed into reality by the Chartered Accountants who realize the value of money, measurement and efficiency for business.
These noble souls are the ones who will Harvest the Benefits of Cloud Computing and transform it into a computing utility.
