Cloud Computing SIG (CCSIG)
Could Cloud Computing create values to your business?
As non-IT organisations increasingly externalise their
core-competencies systems via Cloud Computing,
Gartner predicted earlier last year that these
corporations would be interjecting themselves into the
value-chained systems in 2015, and directly competing
with those IT Organisations. They further predicted
that about 20% of non-IT global 500 enterprises will
become the Cloud Service Providers during this period.
With this trend, CCSIG themed the 2014 Executive Cloud
Forum as “Cloud Adoption: Value Creation, & business
transformation!”.
As CCSIG believes the Cloud Computing have already
drawn the public awareness, organisations have some
levels of trial and adoption in their business operation,or
daily life nowadays particularly over their smart mobile
devices. To enhance their understanding on the Cloud
adoption and make them fully aware on the possible
impacts on their business & across the industries, this
year CCSIG begins to put more emphasis to guide the
public/SMEs through seminars & training sessions in
knowing how to start the cloud, assess and evaluate
the Cloud procurement, and thus we also provide
some related emerging technologies introduction for
their better understanding; like the inter-relationships
of BI Analytics, Mobility, O2O and IoT with Cloud. We
focus our trainings on the logistics & retail (tourism)
businesses as they are two out of the four major pillars
of the Hong Kong economy, where most of them are
undergoing a certain level of business transformation
recently because of the emerging technologies.
Industry Events
Following the previous successful Executive Cloud
Forum events organised in 2012 & 2013, CCSIG has
continued this flagship event: 2014 CCSIG Executive
Cloud (full-day) Forum, themed as “Cloud Adoption,
Values creation & Business transformation”. The event
was successfully held in Cyberport with lots of heavy-
weighted speakers: Legislative Council member (IT
Functional Constitutions) Mr. Charles Mok, JP (CCSIG
advisor), CIOs/CXOs of corporations like Airport
Authority Hong Kong, Hong Kong Cyberport Company
Management Ltd, MTR Corporation Ltd. (Delegates of
IT Head), The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Ltd.,
Amazon,Cisco Systems (Hong Kong) Limited,&OpenText
Corporation, and the two panels (one in English, one in
Chinese) moderated by our CCSIG advisors: Dr. C KWong,
MH & Mr. Peter Yan.
雲端運算能否為你的業務創造價值？
由於非資訊科技機構將其核心競爭系統透過雲端計算
變得越加外部化，Gartner於去年初預計那些公司會於
2015年投身到價值鏈系統，直接與資訊科技機構競
爭。預期在此期間約有20%非資訊科技全球500大企
業將會成為雲端服務供應商。基於此趨勢，雲端運算
專題組把2014年行政雲端論壇的主題定為「採用雲端
技術：價值創造和業務轉型」。
雲端運算專題組相信雲端運算已受到公眾的注意，機
構在其業務運作中亦進行某些程度的測試，而現時尤
其在日常生活中透過智能流動裝置使用。為了加強他
們對採用雲端技術的瞭解，並使他們充份明白技術對
其業務和業界之間可能造成的影響，本年度雲端運算
專題組開始較為着重於透過座談會和訓練環節指引公
眾人士／中小企，讓他們知悉如何開立雲端技術和評
價雲端技術採購，並且提供一些新興科技供其瞭解，
例如商務智能分析、流動性、O2O和物聯網。作為香
港四大經濟支柱之二，物流和零售（旅遊）業是大部
分中小企的業務所在，最近他們大多數都正受到新興
科技的影響而經歷某程度的業務轉型。
業界活動
隨着行政雲端論壇活動先前於2012及2013年成功舉
行，雲端運算專題組繼續舉辦是項旗艦活動：2014年
雲端運算專題組行政雲端（為時一整天的）論壇，主
題為「採用雲端技術：價值創造和業務轉型」。該活
動於數碼港成功進行，當中重量級的講者：立法會議
員（資訊科技功能界別）莫乃光太平紳士、香港機場
管理局、香港數碼港管理有限公司、香港鐵路有限公
司（資訊科技主管代表）、香港中華煤氣有限公司、
亞瑪遜公司、思科系統（香港）有限公司、OpenText
集團的CIO／CXO，而專題組顧問黃仲翹博士MH和任
景信先生主持了兩個分別由英文和粵語進行的小組討
論。
