Rising to the Challenge: “This independent report was commissioned by Savvis and conducted by Vanson Bourne in April 2010. The research surveyed CIOs, IT Directors and Heads of IT in the U.S., U.K. and Singapore from medium to large enterprises and the public sector…Our 2010 survey findings revealed that a large percentage of organizations are looking at infrastructure outsourcing as a means of delivering first-class IT support to the organization. The impetus driving this outsourcing rise is a widespread interest in cloud computing. A significant portion of the respondents are currently using or considering cloud services to deliver some part of their IT infrastructure. With the outsourcing forecast for the next 10 years set to grow (some two-thirds of organizations believe the majority of their infrastructure will be outsourced compared with fewer than one in five currently), it seems that the adoption of cloud services will play an important role in this industry transformation.”
