Will Google host your data warehouse?

Tom Hoffman has an interesting article (June 17, 2008) in Computerworld titled "Is Google your next data center? Cloud computing is changing the way we think of the IT department".

We all need to ask: Is owning and operating a data warehouse mission critical? Do we want operation of a data warehouse to be a core competancy?

My general position is that decision support IS mission critical for any organization. Owning and operating a data warehouse may NOT be.

The world of IT is changing so quickly.
