How can you determine if a private cloud is cost-effective for your company?
The term “private cloud” means different things to different providers. At one level it is hosting with a new name and at the other it provides the scale up/down features of the public cloud in a customer specific contract wrapper. So the first thing to do as others have said is evaluate your needs and understand how variable these are - the more variable they are the more likely cloud will make sense as you can ramp up and down as needed - the more fixed your requirements are, you are likely to get a better cost deal via classic hosting. See what the chaps at 37 Signals has to say about why they move out of the cloud.

How can you determine the best IT outsourcing risk mitigation level?
This part of the outsourcing deal is the key to success. Are both parties clear on what is expected now and in the future. Does one part think they are “running the system” and one party think they are “delivering continuous improvements and innovations”. This is an extreme example but I seem plenty of examples where customers complain about the lack of innovation from the partner whilst expecting a 10% drop in fees year on year for “efficiency savings”. Usually you get what you pay for.
