A poll conducted by CIO Connect discovered that 40 per cent of those in IT jobs believe that cloud computing will have a significant effect on technology, with 12 per cent agreeing strongly with this sentiment.
These CIOs anticipate that the innovation creates a major opportunity for change because of the arrival of high-speed broadband, remote management techniques and virtualisation.
'Other crucial factors to the success of the cloud included the globalisation of the supply chain, a maturing offshore model and a difficult economic climate,' CIO Connect added.
However, the research showed that one-fifth of those in IT jobs think cloud computing will only have a limited impact on how companies use technology.
The survey also revealed that 78 per cent of CIOs expect the consumerisation of IT to create new ways of working, although security threats will go hand-in-hand with these opportunities.
Recently, Rob Lovell, chief executive at ThinkGrid, claimed that cloud computing will become increasingly attractive to small firms over the next 12 months, as they realise the cost savings and flexibility it can create.
