Georgios Polatsidis said: “As the market for Cloud Computing expects to reach 17 billion companies by 2016 in Germany, Artezio is well placed to serve its customers having a dedicated department for Cloud Computing services established last year. Organizations can benefit directly from cloud computing by using secure IT applications at a lower cost in a secure environment as well as utilizing Artezio’s unique expertise in Cloud and its product range. Leading towards 2020, the amount of information shared and transferred across will increase two fold, presenting great new challenges to companies in handling big amounts of data and ensuring security, data distribution and the fact that systems are ready to handle it whilst data delivery is timely.
