IT workers 'confused about cloud'
25/06/2009
People in
IT jobs
are confused about what cloud computing is and how it can help businesses, new research has revealed.
The study by document management firm
Version One
found that 41 per cent of the 60 technology workers polled do not know what cloud computing is and 29 per cent are unaware if it is used in their organisations or not.
In addition, just five per cent of the technology professionals surveyed said that they use cloud computing "a lot", while 19 per cent use it sometimes.
Julian Buck, general manager of Version One, said: "Although this is only a small survey of IT professionals, the results are nonetheless very alarming, especially as IT professionals are the very people that need to understand cloud computing so that they can explain its benefits to management."
He added that not working through this confusion could end up with "organisations rejecting this technology and missing out on the benefits it provides".
Industry analyst firm
Gartner
defines cloud computing as a service that is provided through the use of internet technologies.
