Cloud and Payments: A Match Made in Heaven?
In the payments world, the debate around whether Cloud needs to be part of the future strategy for payment players is more or less settled now, with growing acceptance on a number of key benefits arising from moving to it – be it scalability, agility and security to future-proofing and (the elephant in the room!) cost.
