The document provides an overview of the Student Investment Fund at Salisbury University for Fall 2010. It includes sections on the fund's investment policy statement and strategy, an economic analysis by the lead analyst Frank Balas, the fund's sector allocations for spring and fall 2010, highlights on individual companies in top sectors like materials, industrials, energy, and information technology, and an analysis of the fund's performance relative to benchmarks like the S&P 500 over various time periods.
The document discusses cloud computing definitions, deployment considerations, and diversity. It provides definitions for cloud computing and clarifies that there is no single type of cloud - there are different service delivery models like SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS as well as deployment models like public, private, and hybrid clouds. It also notes that organizations will likely use multiple deployment models to meet their varying needs, combining on-premise, private and public cloud capabilities. Legacy applications, regulations, and other factors influence how IT services are deployed.

4. CTO Survey covers Finnish CTOs’ views on the
current innovation environment and its future
outlook
Spinverse annually conducts the CTO Survey, targeted to Finnish Chief
Technology Officers (CTOs). The survey deals with themes that arise in the semi-
annual CTO Forum events.
The CTO Survey 2013 was done in partnership with Sitra, Confederation of
Finnish Industries (EK) and Technology Academy Finland (TAF)
The survey received 120 responses from various industries: online responses were
complemented by interviewing representatives from large companies.
Almost half (43 %) of the responses were from big corporations.
The results of the survey are compared to the previous years.
5. Nearly half of the TOP 100 R&D investors in
Finland answered the survey, added by other
significant Finnish companies
Examples
• Wärtsilä • Outokumpu
• Metso • Tikkurila
• Orion • Ahlstrom
• Kone • Sartorius Biohit Liquid Handling
• Bayer Schering Pharma • Logica
• UPM • Gasum
• Kemira • STX Finland
• Neste Oil • Beneq
• Tieto • Okmetic
• Fortum • NSN
• Konecranes • Ponsse
• EADS Secure Networks • Patria
• Vaisala • Santen
Over 95 % of Finnish R&D investments are done by the top 100 investors.
We cover this population well.

value chains are quickly acquired by someone. However, giving opportunities for piloting has been
our policy. [The company] sees new SMEs
beneficial and needed within the industry.
• The mines that have been active in Finland for a long time have

entrepreneurs within the industry
• The mines that have opened in Finland lately bring new opportunities
for enlarging the collaboration to new metals and production

31. Conclusions
Even though Finnish CTOs see their R&D investments and
recruiting to increase, they are less optimistic than in the previous
years: less CTOs see increases coming up.
Most CTOs have R&D collaboration with their customers, suppliers
and universities. Big corporations would like to increase R&D
collaboration especially with Finnish SMEs. However, only a third
of the SME CTOs think that it is easy to find good R&D partners
among big corporations.
Building international networks would need additional emphasis to
also enable a better gain from international funding opportunities:
25% of Finnish CTOs are not familiar with the most common EU
funding opportunities and only a third of them thinks that EU is an
important source of public funding.
The interviews revealed that Finnish mining and metal industries
need more piloting opportunities, SMEs and more value added
