Ara Trembly reports on the CSCC and efforts to address some of the challenges of cloud computing. A topic that I often address on the blog. Many of the issues address interoperability and security challenges among cloud platforms. There are many types of standards involved in networking today. And we also provide Web Services Profile, SOAP, Security Profiles to support our standards.

As usual Trembly does a good job of digging for details, he reports that "Amid all the talk we hear about established and developing data standards in the insurance industry, a new player has emerged to push for such standards related to adoption and use of cloud technology.
The Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC), according to the group’s web site, is “an end user advocacy group dedicated to accelerating cloud’s successful adoption, and drilling down into the standards, security and interoperability issues surrounding the transition to the cloud. The Council is not a standards organization, but will complement existing cloud standards efforts and establish a core set of client-driven requirements to ensure cloud users will have the same freedom of choice, flexibility, and openness they have with traditional IT environments.”
