Cloud Computing

For this project, select an organization that has leveraged Cloud Computing technologies in an attempt to improve profitability or to give them a competitive advantage. Research the organization to understand the challenges that they faced and how they intended to use Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges. Once you have chosen an organization, this will be the organization you use throughout the remainder of the course. This paper should be written in third-person. The third-person point of view belongs to the person (or people) being talked about. The third-person pronouns include he, him, his, himself, she, her, hers, herself, it, its, itself, they, them, their, theirs, and themselves (Not I, we, us, our).

Write a one-page organizational overview using APA (7th Edition) formatting.  The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirements. The organizational overview should include:

• A brief history


• Mission (If you quote the mission directly, be sure to follow APA for direct quotes)


• Goals


• Achievements

The paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages (no abstract).  There should be at least one scholarly source listed on the reference page.  Each reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and each entry in the reference list must be cited in text. APA requirements for this class include:

• 12-point Time New Roman font


• Your paper should be typed and double-spaced with 1" margins on all sides


• The first sentence of each paragraph should be indented one tab space


• All papers should contain the page number, flush right, in the header of every page. Use the automatic page-numbering function of your word-processing program to insert page numbers in the top right corner; do not type page numbers manually.
