In answering that question, it looks at what is meant by the cloud: not the technology, but what it actually means for productivity. It also suggests that the cloud can have a positive impact on organisational efficiency and delivering business results such as customer happiness and information security. Finally, it looks at how cloud services will change, explaining federation and brokering, and exploring the issue of cloud readiness.

We believe that the way organisations are structured, run and resourced is fundamentally changing. The cause of this change is the emergence of a new way of buying and using services.

This is the cloud and it could help people become more productive than ever before.

• What makes a cloud service?

• How the cloud helps people be productive
