Dear colleagues in AIS world:

As a simple example of the relevance of real cases (industry-based news
from IT industry magazines) the following one reported in CIO Alerts:

King County Washington Avoids More Than $1M in Spend By Backing Up To Cloud
http://resources.cio.com/ccd/assets/101343/detail

An unsustainable backup infrastructure that was costly, error-prone and at
full capacity prompted the IT leaders at King County, Washington to move
to a more affordable and flexible public cloud approach. View this Webcast
to hear how moving to Amazon Web Services enabled them to protect data for
two million residents and:
- Reduce infrastructure costs by 70%
- Avoid a $1 million infrastructure refresh
- Reduce annual back and recovery costs by $300 million
- Secure data in transit and at rest to meet regulatory compliance mandates
- Reduce backup error rates by 84%
- Benefit from unlimited cloud archival capacity

The academic-research comment is: why are these kind of
business-engineering IT problems not investigated and published in top
journals? We will learn really of them !
