DECEMBER 2018CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6Driving the Digital Era With its rising demand across industries like telecom, financial services, banking, education, retail, and government, enterprises are increasingly turning to cloud to simplify their IT operations and enjoy the potential of the new digital world. With cloud, organizations can harness the power and flexibility of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) to support their business operations. The simplicity and flexibility of such services are driving the adoption of cloud. A recent Gartner report forecasts the cloud market to reach a staggering $206 billion by 2019, from $145 billion in 2017.In the cloud ecosystem, hybrid cloud computing is set to become an imperative, in the form of a unified, integrated cloud model of internal and external cloud platforms. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced integration capabilities are driving cloud as a critical element of today's businesses. Alongside this, as security continues to be a major concern, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be a thing throughout 2019 and companies must assure that their data practices are both safe and compliant.On that note, we present to you a special edition on the cloud solution providers. This edition features some of the innovative cloud solution providers who deliver outstanding technology solutions and services.
