Company umbrella contractors 'should embrace cloud computing'
Posted by Sarah Putt
Company umbrella contractors who take up cloud computing will give economies across Europe a healthy boost.
Research by the Centre of Economics and Business Research (CEBR) found that the top five European Union (EU) economies – UK, Italy, France, Germany and Spain – will benefit with an input of €763 billion (£645 billion).
Those with umbrella companies will also be pleased to hear that the CEBR believes that 2.4 million jobs can also be created through the adoption of cloud computing.
Piers Linney, joint chief executive of Outsourcery, likened the revolution of cloud computing to the impact the steam power had on the economy in the nineteenth century.
He explained: "The cloud saves businesses money, increases productivity, reduces risks, increases flexibility and transfers what were fixed costs in to variable costs."
Recently, Rob Lovell, chief executive of ThinkGrid, believed that contractors could benefit from cloud computing, as it would mean they can work even if they cannot get into the office.
