"IT has to constantly evolve, change and update
systems. The core decisions of the business are now
being based on IT data which wasn't the case
before" (Group IT Manager, MNC, Ireland)
There is no 100% security and if you want
change you must be willing to take risks. But
it is not an IT decision – it is a business
decision
(Enterprise architect, global bank)
It’s all about data management. We need
the overarching service management
solution that enables us to see it all. Until
we can integrate the cloud usage into our IT
landscape we will not use public cloud, only
marginally
(CTO, global bank)
Cloud is a journey, not a project. We need to
take calculated risks - but we also need to
work with a provider that has tried it
before. We can’t risk the daily operation.
