Stay tuned the SUCRE Primers will be released soon!
The SUCRE Primers, thanks to an attractive graphic design and information provided in intelligible way, will synthesize the insights derived through the activities of SUCRE that focused on cloud computing for the Public and the healthcare sectors. More specifically, the reports will draw on findings gathered through the State-of-the-Art analysis, the interviews conducted with key stakeholders from the aforementioned sector as well as the targeted workshop in order to prepare a ready-to-use document for policy makers and ICT managers of healthcare organizations. These brochures will discuss several factors influencing cloud computing adoption in the public and healthcare sector through numerous perspectives including technical, economic, societal and legal and will also analyze the factors that are relevant to the adoption of open clouds in the healthcare domain. Furthermore, they will enlist challenges that seem to apply when considering the adoption of cloud computing in these key sectors of civil society and suggest possible pathways through which the challenges could be resolved. Finally, it will also capture a series of Q&A focusing on providing answers for fundamental considerations that ICT managers of healthcare organizations may have when considering the adoption of cloud computing. The brochures are expected to be published by November 2014.
