CompuCom,
a leading technology infrastructure services company, today announced
the results of an online survey showing that more than a quarter of IT
professionals, 26 percent, expect their organizations to focus most of
their 2015 technology investments on Cloud technologies, followed by
Security (24 percent) and Big Data/Analytics (23 percent). The poll
collected responses from 388 IT pros across multiple industries from
December 1, 2014 – January 26, 2015.
International Data Corporation (IDC)
projects worldwide spending on public IT Cloud services to reach more
than $107 billion in 2017, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
23.5 percent from 2013–2017, five times that of the IT industry as a
whole. IDC also predicts that IT Cloud services will drive 17 percent of
IT product spending and nearly half of all growth across five technology
categories: applications, system infrastructure software, platform as a
service (PaaS), servers and basic storage.
According to CompuCom Chief Technology Officer Sam Gross, “Enterprises
understand the enormous potential of the Cloud to integrate Social,
Mobile and Big Data. With the agility challenges that IT faces, we are
not surprised that Cloud is top-of-mind, even as security remains an
ongoing consideration. Secure Cloud-Scale application and mobility
solutions both drive and consume Big Data, and it is no surprise that
the focus on Cloud, Security and Big Data technology investments rises
to the top.”
