Cloud computing white paper by Roland Berger and SAP

Roland Berger and SAP have jointly produced a white paper entitled "Survival of the fittest", which argues that Europe has a great opportunity to assume a leading role in cloud computing. Carsten Rossbach talks about the right framework for this to happen.

In terms of skills, resources and companies, European providers have everything needed to become global leaders in various segments of cloud services. However, there are still a few requirements to be established. Security risks and external threats are the main areas where far more is to be done. The authors of the study want to help the cloud to make its breakthrough on the "old continent" by means of a roadmap for Europe that passes through five stations on the path to international leadership. The most important one would be the idea of a European Cloud Gold Standard, which bundles all factors of cloud security into one quality seal.
