Cloud-computing technology has become increasingly prevalent in the content management sphere. We can follow the cloud management trend across several platforms like Google Docs, Microsoft’s SharePoint 2010, Clickability and Spring CM. All of these business intelligence tools offer cloud technology solutions.

Cloud-based features are especially appealing to IT departments, who will be absolved of the painstaking task of hardware maintenance and software upgrades. Not that cloud-computing is completely maintenance-free; IT departments will still have to configure the content management systems.

Although there are some risks and question marks surrounding the use of cloud-computing technology, like content authority and security. Cloud solutions aren’t going away anytime soon. Be sure to do your research before choosing a cloud management system that is right for you.
