Case Study

This writing Assignment requires research of Cloud Computing. You will learn of Cloud Technologies and similar advanced technologies that support the financial applications of businesses at the local, national, and international levels. Features, benefits, and a comparison of services provided by "cloud" vendors will be researched. You will submit a summary of your findings in the format of a business memorandum to your manager.

Prepare a recommendation to support the purchase of the rather "new" cloud computing technology. Your recommendation memorandum should include:

1. Explain three significant benefits of cloud computing technology. How do these three items benefit the business strategy in the natural world?

2. Note two vendors of cloud computing technology. Compare two aspects of these two vendors and services.

3. While achieving a favorable return on investment is essential for business ventures, it is equally important to recognize problems caused by science and technology to the business community. In your memorandum discuss the environmental impacts caused by technology as well as solutions to the problem.

4. How does cloud computing allow people to change the business community in ways it would otherwise remain the same?
