7. Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,
convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider interaction.
This cloud model is composed of five essential
characteristics, three service models, and four deployment
models.

28. Why only bits of solutions?
• Regulatory issues, data security, Patriot Act
• Final accounts are for the tax man and legal eagles – the client’s not
interested
• Management accounts is where the action is
• Few (arguably no) fully integrated solutions available
• The profession is changing - Time vs. Fixed price
• Resourcing a project
• Need to handle Barely Repeatable Processes
