3 Key main actions:
� Cutting through the jungle of standards
� Safe and fair contract terms and conditions

Introduction and objective
Enabling and facilitating faster adoption of cloud
computing: public clouds spending to 2020 up from €35 billion (No
Intervention scenario) to almost €80 billion (Policy-driven scenario)

scenario)
throughout all sectors of the economy: lower IT costs (81%), mobile working (46%), higher productivity (41%), standardised processes (35%), new business areas (33%) new locations (32%).
to help cut ICT costs and boost productivity, growth
and jobs: cloud-related workers could exceed 3.8 million, against some
1.3 million in the “No Intervention” scenario
General impact on users
Supply side: new opportunities for telcos, equipment, services providers
DigitalAgenda
� Demand side: Productivity potential for all; quicker and less risky professional IT for new users (e.g. start-ups)

standards (e.g. for security and interoperability)
� NB: broad mapping wide stakeholder input …
� Not just Europe;
� not just telecoms;
� not just official standards
� Work starts today
� Mid-year 2013 progress check
� Delivery of full map be end of 2013
Cutting through the Jungle of Standards 2
� Recognise ICT technical specifications for data
protection

protection
� ENISA & others (2014) list of voluntary certification
schemes
� Agree with industry harmonised metrics for energy
consumption & carbon emissions of cloud services
Safe and Fair Contract Terms
