Imagine lying on the sand at the beach, tapping on your smart phone and finishing up complicated sales and marketing projects. The report is then sent to your global sales force. Imagine dining at a restaurant and during dessert, putting the finishing touches on your venture capital presentation and clicking the button and interacting with potential business partners all over the world. All of them are viewing the same business plan as you in real time.
Both these scenarios are not figments of the imagination. They are present reality. Thanks to cloud computing, software applications that used to be installed locally are now accessible through the internet on a distributed basis. Running on hundreds if not thousands of servers distributed over many locations, cloud computing applications provide unprecedented portability, flexibility, and convenience to end users. However, just like with any technological innovation, it also has a dark side.
"Cloud computing has freed people from the constraints of time and space," said Oliver Thompson, media relations officer at ereviewguide.com, the internet’s leading consumer reference resource for software technology and other information categories. Cloud computing applications can be accessed wherever you can get internet access – at the airport, at a coffee shop, at your home, at your work and literally thousands of other locations. It also freeze you up from time constraints of local software. You can access or alter a sheer document in real time, which is then accessed by your partners, whether they be partners, employers or customers, whether they be across the street from you, across state lines, or across the globe. "As cloud computing dramatically lowers costs while boosting productivity not only do you save money in terms of software costs but the savings extend to maintenance, updates and other key considerations" said Thompson.

The guide also spells out the disadvantages of this application service architecture and model, "Depending on your particular situation, cloud computing could end up costing you a lot more money than your local software, believe it or not," said Thompson. "Our guide steps you through the different disadvantages and their related scenarios where this could be the case. While cloud computing might be a great solution for a great majority of people, it is not by all means a one size fits all solution. Our guide clues you in to potential traps you might encounter with cloud computing," said Thompson.
