Microsoft: SMB Views on the Cloud Vary Widely

Invensys has been working with Microsoft since February 2012 to build industrial-grade reporting, analysis and collaboration products that can be hosted on the cloud.  Since that time, what we've learned is that companies aren't adverse to a cloud-hosted solution, but want to be sure that their internal security policies are adhered to, and the products in that form factor bring more benefits than if they'd be traditionally hosted on an on-site server.

This study, funded by Microsoft, explores some of the issues that small and medium sized businesses are grappling with when going to the cloud.  At the onset, these companies are likely to be the ones benefitting from the "no touch" hosting and self-service environment, but there are lingering concerns about safety that must be addressed.
