The annual trend study "CIO Barometer 2012" by CSC shows: Seven out of ten IT decision makers worldwide see cloud computing as the most important task area for their area. For comparison: In 2011, change and development processes still led the agenda in the IT departments. Cloud computing was mentioned by only one in four experts.
America is still a pioneer in the cloud initiatives. 81 percent of surveyed US experts rated such concepts as the most important topic. In Europe, this already supports 60 percent. At the same time, the understanding of cloud computing - ie the provision of IT services by specialized providers via the Internet - is changing dramatically. IT professionals in the enterprise are increasingly no longer just understanding the cloud as a mere outsourcing alternative, but rather as a source for new approaches to solutions in information technology.
"Managed security offerings in the cloud are a vivid example of how cloud computingIT departments are finding new ways to deal with future challenges, "says Gerhard Fercho, CEO of CSC in Germany. "With soaring computer crime cases across the Internet, cloud experts are working closely with science to develop the best possible new security standards. For example, CSC has opened a new Cybersecurity Demonstration Center in Berlin this year. Together with the renowned Fraunhofer Institute and industry partners, cloud solutions are being worked on to ensure a new level of security in security. The bundled research engagement offers real added value for the IT departments in the companies, "says Fercho.
