Organisations face immense challenges in the aftermath of the ἀnancial crisis. In the current fragile economic climate IT often represents a costly and rigid structure that does not live up to expectations. Meanwhile a paradigm shift is taking place: a transition from locally installed and maintained IT towards the centralisation and commoditisation of IT services. A growing number of organisations embrace concepts such as cloud computing in order to reduce IT spending, to increase the speed of implementations and to ensure an innovative business approach.
“Cloud is not the future – it’s now. It’s an enabling force for business evolution that goes beyond technology, allowing organizations to more efficiently and effectively reengineer the company’s corporate strategy.”
