Office 365 Adoption: Drivers, Risks and Opportunities

Barracuda • October 26, 2017

Cloud computing is redefining the way organisations across EMEA do business, offering opportunities to work more productively, run IT more efficiently, and support a highly mobile, always connected workforce.

Many are looking to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to level the playing field with their better-funded counterparts, accessing computing resources previously thought beyond their financial means.

However, security concerns remain one of the biggest barriers to cloud adoption. Although migration from traditional Microsoft installations is a hassle-free, transparent process for the end-user, behind the scenes shifting of workloads, resources, and processes has a major impact on security and compliance.
