CXO Insight Middle East - December 2018

I dette nummeret

Last month, I’d the opportunity to attend two major tech conferences in Europe, where two topics dominated the agenda – cloud computing and cyber security. Cloud has been a bit of a non-starter in the Middle East due to a number of reasons, including data residency. I think 2019 will be the year of cloud in the region with major service providers setting up presence in this part of the world, which will go a long way in instilling confidence among users that their data will not leave the geographical boundaries as mandated by regulators. CIOs who have already tested the waters with non-differentiating workloads will now have a compelling business case to revisit this area and move some of their mission-critical systems out of their on-premise data centres to multi-cloud environments to achieve cost and operational efficiencies.
