Cloud computing services
Cloud computing has been one of the most talked about IT topics of recent years, and as the technology matures the cloud has become a serious option for all IT managers. There are a range of ways to approach the cloud, from public cloud to private clouds, through services such as software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). We examine cloud computing services and the trends and technologies that matter to IT managers.

CW EMEA: Prepare for AI explosion
In this month’s CW EMEA, we look at generative artificial intelligence, which Accenture claims is the next big thing in enterprise IT. The IT services giant says GenAI will transform 40% of all working hours – and it is putting its money where its mouth is with plans to invest $3bn in AI and create 40,000 AI-focused roles. Part of the huge investment has already been assigned to the creation of an AI and generative AI lab in Brussels focused on the public sector in Europe. We also look at a Deutsche Telekom-led consortium’s demo of multi-supplier non-real-time RAN optimisation, how last month’s Ryder Cup tested out technology to improve how fans digitally consume the event, and find out how Zurich Insurance has cut the time it takes to complete development of ServiceNow applications. Read the issue now. Continue Reading
