> everyone had to take their computers home every night - nothing to steal. Everything was Cloud

That is scary if you believe that.. That nothing can be stolen because it is in "the cloud"... I am sure there are a few Celebs that will tell you in graphic detail how wrong you are.

>Not having to pay for any on-site sysadmin definetly saved the company money

Likely compromising Security, backups, and a few other things as you depend on "the cloud" to provide these things

I am sure the customers at CodeSpaces ( http://www.networkcomputing.com/cloud-infrastructure/code-sp... ) thought their data was secure in the "cloud" as well

I bet you claim that will nto happen to you because you only use "the largest providers" like AWS or Dropbox....

Far to often I see companies moving their entire operations to "the cloud" with no planning for Off-Boarding, Data Backups, or anything, they just assume "its the cloud so everything is perfect, cheap, secure and we need no neckbeard admins"

That is a scary scary trend. SaaS can be a good tool, when used right. It can also be the end of the organization when done wrong...
