Business Intelligence (BI) deals with integrated approaches to management support. In many cases, the integrated infrastructures that are subject to BI have become complex, costly, and inflexible. A possible remedy for these issues might arise on the horizon with “Cloud Computing” concepts that promise new options for a net based sourcing of hardand software. Currently, there is still a dearth of concepts for defining, designing, and structuring a possible adaption of Cloud Computing to the…
