Do You Trust the Cloud With Your Business Critical Data?

[Duncan Taylor]

I am trying to increase my understanding of how users are accepting or not accepting storing their business critical data in the cloud.

• Do you use any software which stores your information in the cloud?
• Is it a shared cloud or is your data isolated?
• Does the data you store there sensitive data like tax ids?
• If you aren't using any cloud related software, why not? And, what would it take for you to use the cloud?

Full disclosure here, I am trying to increase my understanding of this because I am considering an investment in a technology offering using the cloud. I'm not trying to get exposure for this company. I am just trying to figure out if I want to park some longer term money I have in a company wanting to extend their technology offering beyond their internal use. They have the best overall investment management system I have seen. I am a beta user and will definitely continue to use it after launch and will transition away from using Buildium. But, I am trying to decide if I want to be an investor too.
