Data Security Concerns Threaten Canada's Competitiveness

A recent survey conducted by TELUS and IDC Canada discovered misdirected concerns over data security and the limited knowledge of cloud computing are putting Canada's economic competitiveness at risk, as business leaders fail to adopt new cloud technologies.

The study showed the majority of Canadian organizations currently using cloud computing have said it has transformed the way they work, allowing them to re-focus resources on meeting strategic business objectives. 

Yet an astonishing 71% of Canadian businesses are risking their competitive edge because they will not embrace new technology, delivery models or allow their company to be transparent.

The study also revealed that Canadian businesses do not fully understand the value of cloud-based services. Many do not see the cost savings, improved functionality of IT systems, greater agility and improved customer responsiveness.

Why is this important to you?  Make sure that you don't lose the advantage of being an adopter of cloud computing, new delivery models or transparency in business dealings.
