The most current status of Cloud Computing activity globally

Session Date & Time: Day 2, March 24, 18:00 EST (45 min)
Abstract CloudICT is conducting the world’s largest global cloud computing adoption survey. Our research is aimed at, and being supported by global enterprise executives who are the key decision makers at the CEO, CIO, CTO, company director and senior management level. The valubale information, which these key  participants are providing, is enabling CloudICT to provide vendor independent research and analysis of the current status of cloud computing activity globally.
Some of the areas we will discuss include:
    * What are organizations doing, or planning to do, with cloud computing?
    * What types of cloud computing environments are being used, considered and/or ignored?
    * What countries, industries are leading and lagging adoption?
    * What are the major drivers and expectations?
    * What suggestions, feedback and interesting observations you’re telling us?
