What does cloud computing look like in 2016?

Cloud computing today is in a phase of rapid take-up. Technology as a service is a top priority for CIOs in Southeast Asia.

This guide gives examples of how cloud computing is being harnessed by the finance sector in the region with a close look at projects at TMB Bank in Thailand and Singapore’s DBS. The latter is piloting Microsoft’s Office 365 with about 1,000 employees, making it the first Singapore bank to do so, while TMB used a move to Office 365 as a starting point for its transformation into a cloud-first organization.

With demand on the up and government rules being formulated around data protection, countries in the ASEAN region need local options for their cloud services. In this guide we also look at some recent investments in cloud infrastructure within the region, with a look at work being done on a tropical datacentre concept as well as an analysis of the contribution being made by a global cloud supplier.

There is also an in-depth look at the history of cloud computing.
