The Effect of ICT Infrastructure Sophistication and Interconnection on the Pr...Niki Kyriakou
Cloud computing (CC) is expected to lead to new highly beneficial models of information and communication technologies (ICT) acquisition and management in firms. According to relevant literature CC enables firms having weak ICT support to create sophisticated ICT infrastructures rapidly and at a low cost. However, the adoption of CC has been below expectations. Therefore, it is important to conduct further research on factors affecting CC adoption positively or negatively. In this paper is presented an empirical investigation of the effects of two important firm’s ICT infrastructure characteristics, its sophistication and electronic interconnection with suppliers and customers, on firm’s propensity to adopt CC. It is based on a large dataset collected from 676 European firms from the glass, ceramics and cement industries through the e-Business Survey of the European Commission. It has been concluded that in these industries both the sophistication and the electronic interconnection of firm’s ICT infrastructure have a positive effect on its propensity to adopt CC. This finding is not in agreement with the high expectations from and promises of CC: in this context it is not the firms lacking a highly sophisticated and interconnected ICT infrastructure that have more interest and propensity to use CC services in order to obtain it, but on the contrary the firms having such a strong infrastructure in order to reduce its cost.

Thriving religious communities can have dedicated and focused members capable of tremendous avocational contributions to the congregation as well as the outside geographical community. This is the story of how such a congregation were joined together through pastoral leadership and basic design thinking exercises to envision a perfect ideal for a church that included a wellness center. The volunteer convener of that strategy effort, Van Shea Sedita, helped ideate and focus the group of volunteers to understand and implement the basic foundation and early programs at Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church in Wilmington Delaware. This presentation will not only focus on the story, but present helpful steps if you or your organization would like to follow a similar path establishing a wellness center. On a daily basis, as a designer and person in the world, Van focuses on helping people change for the better. That help may be in the form of research, interface design, education or community volunteer efforts. Van hopes that this talk holds practical advice and moving testimony of how a wellness center can help transform your organization or community for the better.
