People have been calling 2011 the year of the Cloud, however, I believe that 2012 will be and here is why: The Cloud is getting serious! People are actually starting to understand it: In March 2011, I ran a quick Twitter Poll, which found that 36% of people had not heard of the Cloud. The same question in January 2012 revealed that only 9% had not heard of the Cloud. It also revealed that although only 27% were using the Cloud, a massive 75% said that they would be considering it for 2012! Based on these statistics it's fairly easy to assume that adoption will increase. Credibility of the Cloud has also increased thanks to major companies like Apple incorporating their Cloud services into their advertisements for the new iPhone. Acts like these will continue to help raise awareness and deepen understanding of Cloud Computing. The popularity of social networking sites is still continuing to grow and the Cloud is already starting to become more social, which will make it ever more appealing. Cloud Computing currently makes sharing and collaborating much easier, however companies like Salesforce are taking this even further with the introduction of Chatter: A private social network for employees; making communication easier and faster. As the Cloud evolves, so will it's social abilities. Despite initial speculation over cloud computing decreasing the number of jobs available to IT professionals, 2012 will see new IT job titles emerging. The Recruitment and Employment Confederation's Technology Sector Group recently announced that its members expect demand for staff with IT skills to increase in 2012 and recruitment has started to see the appearance of job roles such as cloud transformation officer. These job roles barely existed in 2011 and yet they are seen to last between 5 and 7 years, and the number available will increase by the end of the year. Trust has always been a major issue with the Cloud, people wondering where their data is stored, how safe it is, and whether there is any chance of it getting lost. Cloud Computing is already advancing and paying particular attention to reducing this issue. As security becomes tighter, trust will increase and reasons not to convert to the Cloud will be substantially decreased. People have been claiming the last few years as 'the year of the cloud', but only recently have businesses started to understand it and make that transition. We are already seeing an increase in popularity and believe that this year, 2012, is without doubt the year of the cloud.
