For some technology decision-makers, cloud computing is just outsourcing by another name. For others, it’s much more complicated — and risky.
In the third clip of our latest episode in the CIO Canada Debate, we asked David Rea, senior vice-president at Innovapost, and Carlos Silva, IT director at Ontario’s Clean Water Agency, to talk about one of the most contentious issues around cloud computing.
