INFORMA CLOUD WORLD SERIES:GLOBAL INSIGHTS SURVEYEXECUTIVE SUMMARYCloud competition remains unevenly distributedYou can buy cloud services from all regions of the world, but available choices are notsatisfactory to many.
Feet on the street still matter to cloud buyersThe ability to provide local support – directly or through a trusted partner – is a keyrequirement for cloud buyers.
Cloud investment is finding its levelAlthough the bulk of ICT budget could move to the cloud, many enterprises are satisfiedwith the current balance.
