¶ … Garrison, Kim and Wakefield (2012), a discussion concerning the conclusions on the contribution the article makes to the topic and an evaluation concerning how authoritative the article should be regarded, including the qualifications of the authors, the scholarly nature of the publication, the use of citations and reference sources within the article, the intended audience of the article, and the overall format and style of writing of the article. Finally, a determination as to whether the article should or should not be considered to be authoritative according to formal academic considerations concludes the review.
Brief summary of the article
In this study, Garrison et al. (2012) provide a definition and an overview of cloud computing as well as an evaluation concerning potential success factors for deploying cloud computing resources. In addition, the authors describe the typical corresponding risks and obstacles that are associated with the adoption of information technologies, including most especially "uncoordinated adoption by stakeholders, inadequate business and technical acumen, and data security" (Garrison et al., 2012, p. 63). Following their breakdown of the constituent elements of cloud computing and their respect implications for adopting companies, the authors conclude that properly implemented and administered, the transition to cloud computing...
All told, the authors include 18 separate references in their study, but six studies predate 1998 (one from 1991) and one study is undated, making this information relatively obsolete, especially in a highly dynamic cloud computing analysis. Therefore, the authoritativeness of the findings that emerged from this study is called into question by the use of these outdated references. Notwithstanding this constraint, the authors all seem to possess the requisite professional credentials that would qualify them to express an opinion concerning these issues. For instance, all three authors are associate professors in management information systems (Garrison at The Jack C. Massey Graduate School of Business of Belmont University, Nashville, Tennessee, Wakefield at the Hankamer School of Business of Baylor University, Waco, Texas and Kim at the School of Business Administration of Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea).
The publication in which this article appeared was the Communications of the ACM which is a non-juried magazine published by the Association for Computing Machinery (About Communications, 2016). This…

Cloud Computing Benefits As cloud-computing starts to take hold, a number of significant advantages have turned out to be evident. The first one of these, and perhaps the most important, is the costs. The cloud claims to decrease the price of obtaining, providing, and sustaining computing power, a gain of specific significance during times of financial hardship. By allowing agencies to buy just the computing solutions required, rather than purchasing complicated and
This approach to defining a performance-based taxonomy will also allow for a more effective comparison within industries as well. All of these factors taken together will provide enterprise computing buyers with more effective foundations of arguing for more thorough measures of application performance. The net result will be much greater visibility into how cloud computing is actually changing the global economics of the enterprise computing industry. III. Final Report: Introduction The foundational
It's a tidal wave that's going to engulf us all within the next five years. Cloud services will be a $160 billion industry by the end of 2011" (Ginovsky 2011, 21). Although the decision to transition from a traditional approach to cloud computing will depend on each organization's unique circumstances, a number of general benefits have been cited for those companies that have made the partial or complete transition to

Cloud Computing Changes Systems Analysis and Design Instiution/University affiliation Both information systems and information technology infrastructure have been incorporated into business procedures for at least two decades. In the initial development of information technology, organizations which greatly invested in information technology infrastructure achieved strong growth in market shares and returns. Given that IT is now the core of businesses, nearly all organizations own their own IT infrastructures to manage their daily
Cloud Computing and Organizational Cost Management The contemporary market trends have put a lot of pressure on many businesses to cut down on their spending and unnecessary costs using any reasonable measure. The globalization and the emerging trends in business demand that for any business to stand a chance to grow and expand across borders, it has to both adopt the current technology and do so at a reasonable cost that
