THE FUTURE OF CLOUD COMPUTING

THE CLOUD TODAY

DELIVERY MODELS

Businesses of all sizes are now embracing cloud computing. From 2013 through 2016, £448 billion will be spent on cloud services worldwide. The key for any organisation is to utilise the most appropriate cloud model for the business. These decisions will impact the shape of the

future IT department.

As cloud becomes more prevalent, this will impact on the shape and required skills of the IT department, as there will be less requirement for people to support the underlying

infrastructure; this is especially true as automation becomes standard in IaaS and PaaS deployments.
