Description

Cloud services have become the de-facto source of digital transformation for enterprises in every industry and the preferred IT consumption model for consumers. Until now, European cloud and IT service providers have been operating in the shadow of global cloud players, but new opportunities are emerging for them as the market evolves. European enterprises and developers interested in using cloud services need to be aware of evolving technology and supply trends to make the best choices concerning the cloud platforms and infrastructures they need to support their digital transformation journeys. The workshop feeded directly into this particular context.

After an introduction on the ATI project and an overview of the main trends in cloud computing, the workshop focused on the regional level, exploring policies, initiatives and services that are being developed to foster cloud computing adoption and discussing on the impact those initiatives have on end users, especially SMEs.
