CIOs warn that hosted software is not a panacea
Wow - Couldn't have been any more timely. I have several of my customers asking me about SaaS. I spend alot of time worrying if they are able to see the security issues in the future. When you read articles like:

and then I hear - well what can we do? What is your strategy?

You need to think about what is really possibly going to be saved out there? How can we protect it? It slightly reminds me of the confusion around using credit cards in the early days of the Internet - "Who can we trust?". I don't believe one size fits all...Saas + client = nirvana!
