Summary Notes of Article:

• Dell conducted a survey and found that companies using the cloud, big data, security technologies or mobility have 53% higher revenue growth rate compared to those that don’t utilize these technologies.

• At their GTAI 2015 (Global Technology Adoption Index), it was stated that technology brings economic benefits. However, the cost is a major hold back for companies to implement it. Yet, last year, security was a bigger concern than this year.

• Another shift is that now companies perceive more security in the cloud and are making more strategic investments.

• More than half of a company’s security budget is spent on implementing security plans.

• When look at big data, there are elevated costs and this seems to be the main barrier for more companies to start utilizing it.

• The results also show that obstacles for more cloud adoption are security concerns and the costs. Security concerns are especially high in regards to public clouds (44% of respondents) and SaaS (38%).

• When it comes down to mobility, security concerns are also the main concern (42%), followed by cost (34%).

• Lastly, the survey also showed that IT departments often work with limited budgets, which prevents them from implementing a comprehensive security plan.
