2010 is set to be the ‘year of the cloud’ for UK SMEs, following a huge change in outlook over the past 15 months, but many are still failing to implement formal strategies to help safeguard their businesses, according to a report released today by business ISP, Easynet Connect, available for free download from http://www.easynetconnect.net/Industry-Insight/Whitepapers-a….
Compared to a similar report issued by Easynet Connect in October 2008, the report shows a significant increase in small businesses using or planning to use cloud computing within 12 months (22% at the end of 2008 vs. 50% at the end of 2009). Those with longer term plans to deploy cloud computing within five years has gone up by approximately two thirds, rising from 47% in 2008 to a staggering 73% in 2009. In addition, the number of businesses stating they would never move into the cloud has halved over the last 15 months from 53% to just 27% of those surveyed.
