If I only had a dollar for every time I've heard someone say, "I feel safer with my server right next to me" or "Cloud is so much more expensive than if I buy the software outright."

On the surface, such statements seem to make a case for stiff-arming a move to cloud technology. But dig just a little deeper, and there's plenty of logic, statistics, and common sense that debunk those views.

When making the game-changing decision to embrace cloud as a hotelier, it's important to factor everything into your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Don't "phone in" this work; your due diligence is imperative.
