I’m not sure I agree fully with the conclusions, as there are many alternatives in Cloud Computing between maintaining the current In-House IT Systems and full Desktop Virtualisation.

Most SME businesses will address Cloud Computing/Virtualisation in a phased basis, starting with Email, CRM and Shared Documents, and then looking at things like the Finance Apps before going for full Desktop Virtualisation.

While to us, it makes sense, to the average business person it can sound like we are speaking in some sort of Martian Dialect.

The problem with this, is that because we  can make new technology sound complicated, and most of it is not complicated, businesses are put off evaluating new technologies that could really benefit their businesses. This is particularly important in tough times when the proper use of Computers and Technology can make your business more efficient, allow you adapt to the changing marketplace, reduce your costs and ultimately make your business more profitable.

Anyway to this end I have included a link to a video explaining in simple terms what Cloud Computing is.
