My View:

It also depends on size of organization. For SMBs, Core applications as well as non-core applications (if any) will shift to Cloud/SaaS model. 

And with recent financial turmoil, many large companies became medium and medium became small :)

Any organization adopting cloud would be security/compliance, availability/accessibility.

and portability/migratability. 

These requirements overweigh cost advantages depending on the vertical they play into.

Here is an interesting article that appeared yesterday.

My take  is that possibly Non-mission critical or Non- revenue
generating applications (the so called departmental applications) in
enterprises that may form about 20 to 25% of the total IT
infrastructure and services may find their way to the clouds..

Do share your thoughts...
