Cloud computing is revolutionising the tech industry but it goes much further than that, as it can have great economic impact across a company and indeed across the country. In the Ireland Cloud Economic Report, produced by the Goodbody Economic Consultants and commissioned by Microsoft, it outlines the potential impact on Ireland’s economy by aggressively but intelligently adopting Cloud Computing across different sectors. At the CloudArena event, we will take a glimpse into the potential future of Ireland and our tech industry.

- I’m here to share my vision with you about the future of IT and really of Ireland itself.
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/hikingartist/4192572927/sizes/z/in/photostream/There are those that look at the cloud as a lemming type buzz word drinking game.

- But we wanted to put some meat behind what we were saying and also to validate that we, as Microsoft Ireland, are actually on the right path as we dive head long into cloud computing as a major component of everything that we do.
- Cloud Computing sales by Irish firms could ~~reach €9.5bn per annum by 2014 and provide jobs for 8,600 people as current Information Technology activities migrate to the Cloud. New services and markets will also emerge as a result of the Cloud, creating additional opportunities for Irish firms.
- A great way to communicate the 8,600 jobs, would be to put into perpective. For again, what amount of jobs are there in IT. Is this is a 10% boost to the IT sector, or is this
- This flexibility will also have benefits for the economy as a whole. The availability of Cloud Computing will boost the formation of new businesses and the creation of new jobs across the Irish economy. This could result in the formation of up to 2,000 additional non-ITsmall and medium sized businesses in Ireland over the short to medium term. These businesses could increase employment in the economy by 11,000.

- There’s two reasons to move to the cloud – improve ROI on things that you were going to do anyway or improve your strategy and thereby lowering barriers to innovation.
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/hikingartist/5612418421/sizes/l/in/photostream/The second reason is to improve your strategy.

- 80,000 would be a 40% saving on the original cost.
- A 25% saving on the original cost?
- 1/200th of the original cost? No way.
- This is not a joke. Moving to Microsoft Azure reduced the cost of running the test to practically nothing.

- http://www.flickr.com/photos/hikingartist/5612999850/sizes/l/in/photostream/Obviously part of it starts with the education system and there is a tremendous amount of knowledge to assume. But we also need to upskill our current workforce.
