CXO Insight Middle East - August 2022

In dieser Ausgabe

Cloud is not a hard sell these days. Enterprise businesses are aware of the advantages of using cloud architecture. We have seen an uptick in adoption, especially in the last two years, as companies sought to mobilise their workforce and keep the business running in the wake of the pandemic. Many CIO surveys suggest that the cloud will see the biggest spending growth this year, and the SaaS model has already taken off in a big way in the region while IaaS and PaaS are slowly gaining traction. However, the public sector has been slow to embrace the cloud as many government entities are still evaluating their options in the face of stringent regulations around data privacy. This is why the sovereign cloud is a hot topic today. Sovereign clouds are architected to ensure all data, including metadata stays localised, and users have more control over security and access. This is expected to solve many compliance hurdles that public sector entities face today.
