Greek organizations are increasingly seeing beyond the hype and recognizing that cloud services, mobile networks, devises and applications offer significant tangible benefits and also, are driving a transformation of the way that workers collaborate and business processes function. Company initiatives are facilitating increased efficiency and other new competitive advantages.

New 'cloud-enabled' IT models that leverage software-as-a-service, 'mash-up' application models, next-generation on-premise systems, and very large, global solution marketplaces to 'democratize' IT access are enabling organizations to out-innovate and out-execute their competitors based on the power of their ideas and their inherent agility to execute them quickly.
