SubscribeSalesforce.com is talking about how integration enables cloud computing, too…

During yesterday's keynote session and on this blog, both Sohaib and I talked about cloud computing, the fragmentation of data, and how you need to access it, move it, clean it and trust it in order to succeed in today's global information economy. Enter Informatica.
We're not the only ones talking clouds these days - check out the post on Salesforce.com's force.com blog, titled "The Right Stuff is Better than More Stuff."
Here's a good snippet from Peter Coffee's entry:
Clear supremacy for the cloud is now emerging, though, in the form of superior integration among cloud-based tools (e.g., salesforce.com and Google Apps) and — probably even more important — both cloud-based and on-premise data sources (viz. today's announcement from Informatica).

I get cloud computing and how it can be leveraged both for cost avoidance as well as real-time efficiencies. However, the practicality of securing the data is a concern. The added complexity of the variables involved on just determining where your data is at any given time would be concerning, not to mention who may get access to the data. This access is not only as you use it, but in the future, as that data will exist "somewhere" for an unknown amount of time. The owners of the "cloud application" need to disclose a fair amount of information before a fully trusted business process can be implemented.
