“So many things are tantalizing mixes of unknown opportunity and unknown risks. And, certainly, for many enterprise IT organizations, the topic of “cloud” certainly fits this description.
You can’t hide your head in the sand. You can’t plunge headfirst into it and ignore the obvious risks.
In between these two extremes is the notion of governance: a policy-making function that attempts to assess opportunities and risks in a dynamically changing environment. Several years ago when I was doing the corporate social media strategy thing, I found that a good governance model can accelerate change.
I think it can do the same thing with enterprise use of clouds as well.
And, today, I’d like to share with you a “cloud governance model” that EMC’s IT team is using to navigate the choppy waters forward.”
