1. Companies Using Cloud, Mobility, Big Data Enjoying 50% Faster Revenue Growth: Survey By FP Staff October 14, 2015 Summary Notes of Article:  Dell conducted a survey and found that companies using the cloud, big data, security technologies or mobility have 53% higher revenue growth rate compared to those that don’t utilize these technologies.  At their GTAI 2015 (Global Technology Adoption Index), it was stated that technology brings economic benefits. However, the cost is a major hold back for companies to implement it. Yet, last year, security was a bigger concern than this year.  Another shift is that now companies perceive more security in the cloud and are making more strategic investments.  More than half of a company’s security budget is spent on implementing security plans.  When look at big data, there are elevated costs and this seems to be the main barrier for more companies to start utilizing it.

2.  The results also show that obstacles for more cloud adoption are security concerns and the costs. Security concerns are especially high in regards to public clouds (44% of respondents) and SaaS (38%).  When it comes down to mobility, security concerns are also the main concern (42%), followed by cost (34%).  Lastly, the survey also showed that IT departments often work with limited budgets, which prevents them from implementing a comprehensive security plan.
