Another typical bad analogy.  If someone else knows the color of my
money it's still mine.

Now, we all know how tightly protected the VMS Customer List has
always been.  With The Cloud you put it on another persons machine
under their control and relying on their security.  If it gets out
nothing can ever make it secure again.   Now, tell me, what exactly
has any Cloud Provider done to make me want to trust them?

And that's only one aspect.  How about reliability?  How long can]
your business run if your Cloud Provider goes down?  What exactly
have they done to make you feel that t herfe is no chance of that
happening?

And the list goes on and on.  If anyone did real Risk Analysis
before moving to the Cloud no one would.
