Potential Issues

• Data residency – time delay between data being requested and delivered

• Security and confidentiality of data being stored outside the company

• Business buy-in; convincing companies of the infrastructure and reliability

Trust

• For now, many companies are only using cloud computing for small projects in our country

• The trust hasn’t been accepted• Details such as licensing, privacy, security,

compliance and network monitoring need to be thought carefully for the trust to be realized
