[clug] outlook advice

[Jim Croft]

Kiwis never count... not in cricket, not in rugby, not in...

But this time I have to say I am both encouraged and impressed: a)
because a person (note use of generic non male persuasion descriptor)
called 'Voice' is running the show for their postal service (which
shows Kiwis are not without a sense of humour), and b) they are
entrusting their publicly accountable data to 'the cloud', almost in
an apparent act of courageous faith.

Can someone knowledgeable about such things say something about the
performance, security (personal and national) and business continuity
implications of this approach on the scale they are proposing?

I really like the idea of using 'the cloud' at a personal level and
the physical freedom from technology it might promise.  But is this
scalable to a work team, an organization, a country?
