Where's the beef?
It's like the internet boom days. The ".com" has now been replaced by "cloud". It's difficult enough for IT professionals and CIOs to understand what a product or service does with everyone marketing their products and services as cloud enabled, cloud ready or *as-a-service. But what is worse is that even mainstream news stories are short on specifics adding to the cloudiness in the marketplace.
