Is Cloud Computing the Future

eWeek has an interresting artlice on the decsion of Serena Software to replace its Microsoft Exchange with Google Gmail. Read complete story here. Serena Software expects to save $750,000 per year by shedding Microsoft Exchange Server in favor of Google's Gmail application for its 800 employees.

This is a very intersting move and as more and more organizations look to cut IT costs. Exchange has the loin shatre of the email server market and isn't goign away any time soon. However more and more people are moving to web based services. I have a Google GMail account that over the last several months I forward my personal email accounts to have one central location to archive all of my emails.
I use a Blackberry and an iPhone to access gmail and it works great for what I need.
