So far, cloud computing companies have just sold business on the idea that they can backup all their files and get rid of their servers. They haven't really focused on selling the cloud from a business perspective. They need charts, projected savings. They need to speak like business people instead of IT nerds. To be fair, it's already starting to happen with companies like Box who focus mainly on business customers.

Also, as far as costs go, for a large company, it can be quite a lot cheaper to host all their own servers and have their own dedicated IT staff to manage it.
