This report is based on a survey of 500 CIOs, in a cross-section of organizations across Europe, to explore current attitudes and adoption levels of cloud computing.
"The research finds that although still in early adopter territory, with relatively few company-wide cloud implementations, the cloud agenda has shifted beyond concerns about security to a wider view of risk. It also highlights various challenges associated with supplier lock-in and transition. Despite such concerns, cloud services look set to dominate the IT landscape in next couple of years and those enterprises taking a more holistic view of the benefits, drawbacks and various models of cloud seem best placed to make informed choices to deliver a more agile operating model and sustainable ROI."
