The writer does an excellent job of integrating cloud into the approach for an Enterprise Architecture and drilling down into how to evaluate cloud in its variety of implementation techniques, along with the benefits and drawbacks of each.” ―Sue Miller-Sylvia, IBM Fellow and Vice President, Application Innovation Services, IBM Global Business Services About the Author Pamela K.
