The fact is IT needs to do a better job of securing and managing networks and delivering services both external and internal. While I completely agree that SaaS doesn't fix all problems, its going to be an important part of the mix. There is nothing inherent in cloud computing that makes it less suitable for enterprise use.

The article was correct. Wholesale "SaaS is great! SaaS loves you with warm fuzzies!" propaganda might get you more attention up front but it will eventually kick you in the arse. Those of us who demand that specific concerns are addressed before going ahead with a contract are increasingly pissed off with the vendors that claim that SaaS fixes everything.
