19. 10 thoughts on the Cloud
• Gartner says "Cloud is a disruptive force and has the potential
for broad long-term impact in most industries"
• 75% of those in the cloud will increase their use
• Most adopted services: Email, Storage, Web & Collaboration
• The industry needs to speak with more clarity about Cloud
• The intersection of Cloud, Mobile and Social will transform
the smart enterprises
• For buyers there has never been more choice
• But picking winners is tougher – who will be around in 3
years?
• #1 concern to satisfy still Data Security, Privacy & Sovereignty
• Organisations will adopt independent standards to filter ITT’s
• The CIO can be more strategic, but needs to watch for the
business units doing their own thing

20. Cloud has crossed the chasm but…
Opportunities and new business models
Buyer beware – due diligence & advice
