"Include me out"
Given what we now know about government monitoring, and invasive abilities, not to mention the state sponsored hacking epidemic, putting your critical data and proprietary information and functions into the 'clouds' is akin to kneeling and place your corporate head on the block, neck clearly exposed to every manner of mayhem. Frankly, any CEO contemplating such a move should be summarily dismissed as breaching his fiduciary duties to the enterprise and its shareholders.
I have yet to hear any credible list of advantages that would justify taking such a huge risk with any companies' critical interests. Google has clearly demonstrated that it has no reservations in data mining your email, your physical location, your wireless info, and your net activities if they can figure out a way to profit therefrom. So now they want you to entrust your companies' critical data and secrets to their 'cloud'? PLUUUUUEEEEESSSSSSEEE. Pass on the Koolaid...keep your data YOUR data.
