Gartner: Non-IT companies will also enter the cloud computing services market

CNET Science and Technology Information Network January 28 International report Gartner Research vice President Brain Prentice said that no matter how deep in the vertical area, the world's top 500 non-IT companies can provide services through cloud computing to provide attractive business, especially in the SaaS way. According to the Gartner predict 2011 seminar, in 2015, about 20% of non-IT companies will enter cloud computing as service providers, pointing out that companies such as Volvo will compete with their rivals BMW through service maintenance programs. Analysts said the majority of companies were unwilling to ask the companies if they were willing to turn to a software company to make a profit.　　But today, through cloud computing, these companies can sell attractive businesses and transform their core competencies. This development is a shift in the amount of consumer spending in cloud computing and is accompanied by a challenge before it becomes a secure and shared base cloud, says Gartner's VP Andrew Rosell-jones. The report also mentions cloud computing as a Detroit car industry in the 1970, when cars were produced in large quantities, just as today's SaaS infrastructure services are built.　　However, with the gradual resolution of security issues, more and more non-traditional service providers will enter the field, providing a demand-compliant function to complement the original cloud computing service providers.　　Sales services through social activities Prentice also observed that social media and mobile computing trends would have a significant impact on corporate network sales, and predicted that by 2015, about 50% of internet companies ' revenue was generated through social activities and mobile apps. For companies, however, he has not proposed how to use social power to increase sales, mentioning that social networking is a tricky place, with far more error cases than successful models. He also points out that the rise of social robots will help to reach customers with the added value of providing a business relationship.　　These social robots automatically collect information such as Twitter or social networks, and by analyzing these samples, companies will be able to better understand the needs and intentions of their target users. Tourism guides such as Lonely Planet will assume more "trusted intermediary" roles and provide quality tourism content to consumers. They will also ensure that the travel information, articles, and reminders are correct and sent to interested users. The next step will be to automate these programs through social robots, estimated that by the year 2015, about 10% of online friends will be presented by these social robots.
