It seemed to peter out with the bursting of the e-business bubble but in fact we are now witnessing the ten year convergence of streams of technology and capability that pose the question: how do we leverage this strategically for business advantage? That is one thing we want to investigate. The other is the longer game \u2013 is this going to be a dominant trend, the only game in town, or, if not, what sort of hybrid futures are likely?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CEO of HfS Research, Phil Fersht, who will co-lead study, commented, \u201cThere&#8217;s been so much noise focused on the technology implications of Cloud, and not enough attention placed on how business executives intend to apply Cloud services within their own business environments.\u00a0 At the end of the day, some firms will succeed in driving down IT infrastructure costs using Cloud models, but the real momentum will come from the business processes that can be delivered to organizations that have all the associated application workflow and infrastructure already provisioned in the Cloud.\u00a0 This study will be the first in industry to draw out these dynamics to help us visualize the future of work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HfS is inviting readers to take 10 minutes to complete our online survey.\u00a0 Respondents will receive a report on the report findings, co-written by both HfS Research and the LSE study teams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/cloud-study-LSE-and-HfS\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE SURVEY<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horses for Sources and the London School of Economics to collaborate Folks &#8211; we&#8217;re delighted to announce that today we&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,51,840,81,838,88,91,832],"tags":[505],"ppma_author":[19],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
