4. Big Data and Artificial Intelligence

Combining Cloud Computing and Big Data analysis brings enormous benefits
and enhances the effectiveness of both technologies.

In this sense, we understand the importance of implementing Artificial
Intelligence systems to better interpret the enormous and varied amount of data
useful for improving all business processes (both those aimed “inside” the
organization, as well as outside facing processes, from marketing to purchasing

departments, to sales and Customer Service).

The combination of Cloud Computing, collection of Big Data and subsequent
interpretation through Artificial Intelligence systems must be studied carefully
and above all must be calibrated to measure, depending on the needs of the
individual company, and its objectives.

5. IoT (Internet of Things)

Having “objects” connected to the network allows you to place a large amount of

data, often very precise and significant (and until recently unavailable), in the
cloud.

IoT technologies related to Cloud Computing can, for example, be very useful
for monitoring a company’s production processes to detect inefficiencies and
study solutions for improvement.

But that’s not all: the Internet of Things can also prove valuable in relationships

with users; think about how much data can be collected by companies in the
Utility Industry through counters connected to the network. This is data that is
useful for companies, but also for customers themselves. All of this translates into
a potential increase in revenue, but also in an improvement in customer loyalty.
And this is just to give an example.

6. Cybersecurity

As the adoption of Cloud Computing systems increases, so do security issues.

This is both an essential and delicate point that requires the utmost attention (both
from providers and from companies that use their systems).
With the introduction of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in the
European Union, cybersecurity has become even more urgent.
This is no small matter.
