Cloud market analysis from customer perspective

Abstract: Cloud computing services are presenting very simple approaches to buy IT needs from various technology providers. Existing cloud computing services cover wide spectrum of items including infrastructure, platforms or different spectrum of business applications. The typical list of items which can be ordered from cloud services providers are disk storages, database storage, raw computing power and any other technology function or application such as CRM or ERP. There are a lot of ways that a business can benefit from by acquiring cloud computing services. Some of these benefits include but not limited to improvement of accessibility to the critical information in real time and place; data security; lessen company operational cost; provide regular updates; increased scalability, and many more. Cloud computing also allows a business to run any application without the traditional restrictions of being limited to the confines of the corporate firewall which can help improve collaboration with customers and partners who are also in the cloud. Presented paper summarizes results of survey including different market regions. The goal of the survey was to discover and identify trends in the data, to reveal new information and identify the difference between regions, behavior of customers and on top to determine requirements related to the future Cloud computing services business. The survey contributes to the Cloud computing services through the use of wide range of variables. This research can benefit a wide audience, ranging from educational personnel, students and institutions, also businesses and public organizations.

Economic Interpretation of eHealth Implementation in Countrywide Measures

The eHealth represents a system, collecting data related to the evidence of the health care. Ensures the interoperability of patient’s health history, medication and medical records, related to the care providers. Due precise evidence and data accessibility, this system definitely supports the fraud blocking, costs cutting and contributes to improvement of condition for better care provisioning by care providers, EU countries do not provide public data, targeted to clarify the results of eHealth in form of structured data set, representing the cost savings. This paper represents an alternative view to estimate the results of eHealth implementation into large measures health care system.

Solutions for Secure Collaboration, Selection of Methodology, Implementation and Case Studies for Their Use

Many of us never start thinking about secure information communication and collaboration until it is too late, after a security incident has been identified. The problem is that awareness of the issue remains quite low, coupled with a lack of continuing education in the field. Research on the subject and the level of security awareness was undertaken at Comenius University in Bratislava by the Faculty of Management at the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018, with a wide range of organisations participating. A number of interesting results came out of the analysis, all of which need to be followed up. Our paper discusses the outcome of experiments related to the study’s findings, while pointing out possible solutions in the form of process changes and the use of cloud-based tools and technology in order to eliminate risks and potential threats.

Employment in Information and Communication Technologies in European Countries and Its Potential Determinants and Consequences

Information and communication technologies have important role in many different innovations and further positively affect the productivity and economic growth. Our aim was to examine examine the share of ICT sector in selected European countries and identify its potential determinants and consequences. We used mostly panel data for EU28 countries plus Norway and Switzerland and applied correlation and panel Granger causality tests. The employment in ICT was used as main examined variable. Our results suggest that there is a positive correlation between ICT skills as well as the share of people with ICT education and employment in ICT. The causal effect seems to be working in direction from education to employment. Moreover, variables capturing GDP per capita, trade openness, R&D expenditure, number of internet users, quality of regulation and political stability appear to be all positively correlated with employment in ICT and especially with employment in ICT services.

Data analysis in process of energetics resource optimization

Abstract The distribution and management of energetic resources are the source of big amount of data in structured or unstructured form. These data are collected in a targeted or a random fashion manner for the purpose of efficient distribution and management in the required timeframe. Urban as well as industrial complexes are typical environments where are generated these data. In this process, there are data that are deliberately collected in order to generate the required reporting and outputs for management decision. Input data are the basis of reporting which can have simple or detailed format. In this work we are collecting random input data with intricate structure that cannot simply interpreted and explain in relation with others. The topic of our paper is focused on the interpretation of collected data that is oriented to energetic resources in regional city. We are describing the process of data collection, data cleaning, analysis, identification of relations, informational links, visualization, and interpretation. By analysis of these data we propose information value, which can be exploited in management decision to reduce the cost of electricity and the gas there.
