摘要:Cloud computing may become the mechanism for organizations that are struggling to provide adequate IT capabilities to leapfrog to more effective and affordable IT infrastructures and software solutions. For small nonprofit organizations, critical information systems, such as those that monitor delivery of programs and services, may be migrated from spreadsheets and desktop databases to integrated solutions hosted in the cloud. This paper proposes a win-win scenario for including cloud computing in information systems programs, where small nonprofit organizations may acquire custom solutions for monitoring program and services delivery, and where information systems students may gain hands-on experience analyzing, designing, and deploying cloud computing solutions for these organizations.
