Summary and Next Step

The Cloud is the new Market Transition changing the way ICT and Apps will be delivered (“anything as a service” proposition).

Cloud enables a faster rollout of new innovative services saving time and cost, improving productivity and business innovation

In Italy we see the following opportunities:

– Providing to SMB companies Enterprise-class ICT services without the necessity of an IT department (ERP, ECM, UC)

– Enabling Enterprise-Class Companies to the adoption of cloud for not mission-critical application to have free budget to invest in innovation (today about 70% of IT budget in Maintenance)

– Allow Government and Public Institutes to move to the next level providing more flexible services to citizens at a lower cost

It is necessary the whole ecosystem will move to the right direction (SPs, Government, ISV, University, Business Companies, the whole Country)

Thanks!
