Digital Business is offering IT industry experts the chance to air their views on a range of vital topics.

For this new Personal View Online series, we have commissioned six articles on each subject. These will be published during successive three-week periods (on Mondays and Thursdays).

If you have strong views on the subect and would like to write a response, which we might publish, send it in an e-mail to digitalbusiness@ft.com.

Our first subject is utility computing, hosted services, software-as-a-service, on-demand computing, the cloud – call it what you will. The first article is published here; the second, looking more closely at the balance between utility and individuality, appears here on Thursday.

A summary of highlights from the series of articles will also appear in the first available print edition.

Our second topic is IT in Financial Services, with articles appearing in the three weeks from June 2, to be followed by Web 2.0 Strategies for Business, starting on June 23.
