The Technology Strategy Board is to invest up to £4.5m in collaborative research and development to address business and technology challenges impeding the adoption of cloud computing. In 2011, we funded feasibility studies into the adoption and use of cloud-based computing in sectors and application areas facing complex challenges.
These studies identified three overarching issues that present a challenge to adoption for many organisations – interoperability, resilience of data and identity assurance. To stimulate innovation to address these issues, we are launching a second round of investment of up to £4.5m. Successful projects will demonstrate how new or improved value chains and networks can be created, and show where value can be increased by offering innovative information, content and services in the cloud.
