Who Needs Cloud Computing

The term 'cloud computing' is being discussed a lot recently and not only by those involved in IT, but as it's still a relatively new concept there are plenty of us who don't really have any idea what it's all about. Put very simply it claims to benefit, and even revolutionise, the way businesses are run by offering a range of applications and services over the internet.
