Fostered by a convergence with social and mobile cloud solutions, Enterprise IT continues to advance with lightening pace and drive new levels of innovation. Recently the focus has centred on how in practice this fusion of technologies can be harnessed and securely managed for maximum business value.

The benefits of cloud computing have long been publicised however the issues around partner trust, security and standards remain. Cloud 2012 Conference delegates updated their understanding of how to securely drive their cloud strategy, safeguard corporate data and effectively capture value from the cloud.

This one-day strategic insights conference addressed the current approaches, findings and real-world experiences of cloud service adoption and the advancement of innovative ICT environments. Having embraced the adoption of cloud solutions organisations are actively investigating solutions to the potential roadblocks of legal and security considerations.

Combining think-tanks and end-user keynote presentations this was the leading platform to provide insights on scalability, data privacy and control, mobility and security amongst many others.
