DESCRIPTION
Why is Europe behind in the cloud race? How does it affect our global competitiveness? How can we regain our position?We will describe the main aspects of our common position, as Europeans, towards cloud computing: Legal, Technology, Business, Culture. and how other regions are adopting it at a much faster pace. What does that imply in terms of business? It is not only the reduced overall IT cost of any service we are missing; it is also the agility of provisioning hardware and new business solutions, it is the reduction of Capex and hence the obstacles to get new ideas started.In this session, we will also present some suggestions towards increasing Cloud Computing adoption and developing the Cloud Computing industry in Europe.')
