It is the “steam engine” that makes everything possible and removes all the boundaries for our imagination. And the good thing about it is: Everybody has access to the cloud. It is no longer reserved for large companies with huge budgets.

With the cloud, every small start-up with a brilliant idea has access to unlimited IT systems. And that is the fundamental game changer so many people are still overlooking: The cloud has the power to turn small, but intelligent businesses into dangerous competitors for the large ones.

Dr. Tobias Höllwarth is President of EuroCloud Europe eurocloud.org, Director of the StarAudit Programme staraudit.org, and heads a European network of IT lawyers: cloudprivacycheck.eu/who/.
