Interesting discussion, thanks guys.

I have a client looking at a cloud option for their accounting system.
My initial reaction was shock, horror.
Why, exactly?
What do you think may be the possibility of security and integrity issues
with trusting your entire accounting system and data to a third party?
Well. Do you trust that NSA haven't forced Microsoft to give them a backdoor to your Windows systems?

I fully understand the strong need to have systems under control, but if you make an agreement with a hosting provider does it matter if it runs in a cloud or on some system in their basement?

Is there reason for concern?
Always :)
