I attended the 2010 Deloitte Technology, Media & Telecommunications Predictions seminar today with my colleagues Adam Herstein and Bruce King. The seminar was designed to highlight the top trends expected to impact businesses this year. Of particular interest to me was the Technology Predictions 2010, in which speaker Duncan Stewart listed seven predictions, including one that cloud computing is “likely to grow much faster than most other technology verticals…”. Deloitte further predicted that “we also expect to see [cloud computing] grow the fastest in the consumer and smaller medium enterprises (SME) market, rather than in the large enterprise and government markets”.
As I previously posted last July, cloud computing is certainly on the rise. The privacy issues are profound and, as a result, we’re spending more time these days working on cloud computing related agreements. In any event, I’d encourage you to review the Technology Predictions 2010 as it provides some great insight that might help your business.
