'Go to fewer conferences and start doing something'

27.05.2011

Enterprises have been talking about cloud computing for the last two to three years. But have they taken concrete steps in terms of adoption? Adam laughs, agreeing to my point that there has been more talk than action when it comes to cloud adoption. "My advice to our customers is: go to fewer conferences and start doing something," he says. "We are helping people implement Microsoft's cloud Office 365. We have our own SaaS offering that complements Microsoft's Dynamic CRM and the last one is Microsoft's Azure capability. We have a development centre that specialises in that. "

Should enterprises go for public or private clouds, I further ask him. "It depends on the type of business," he says. "There are important questions about security and data management. How good is your network? At the end of the day, most people will have some form of hybrid environment."
