For AMP students doing the question on cloud computing and it's applications this is an excellent introduction to the topic.
Good definitions, and a SWOT analysis are included.
As with many academic articles a few lines may require closer examination. For example :
"One of the biggest threats...is the possibility of backlash from entrenched incumbents" ( Marston et al 2011, p.182 )
I am taking this to mean that those who feel they are forced to adopt new technologies such as this react especially badly when technology does not benefit their business.
