Internet giant Google have announced they will invest more heavily in cloud computing as their enterprise division predicts rapid growth in the small and medium sized-business (SMB) adoption in 2012.
In a recent blog post, Amit Singh, vice president of Google Enterprise, said that take up of cloud computing by SMBs in 2012 would be “huge”.
After claiming the move towards the cloud was “inevitable”, Singh added: “We also expect that 2012 will be a huge year in the cloud for small businesses, which represent 99.7 per cent of all US employers, yet only 10 per cent of SMBs have deployed cloud technologies.”
Singh claims that pushing business processes into the cloud makes sense because the infrastructure was becoming much more adaptable than the traditional computer, stating that it will “benefit businesses of all sizes”.
Google states that they will continue to build on its cloud applications of the next 12 months. In addition to cloud computing, Singh also promises advancements in mobile and social technologies. He claims these are the areas driving investments for 2012 and transforming the way we work.
