Today, in Westminster, Chancellor George Osborne unveiled plans to cut public spending by £83 billion. I was among the thousands of IT professionals crowded into Earl's Court 2 to discover how IT investment can help their organisations survive the new era of fiscal austerity, and emerge financially stronger, more competitive and more profitable.
They were not disappointed.
Addressing a packed audience for the opening keynote address of IP EXPO 2010, Acadia Enterprises CEO, detailed how the new age of cloud computing is set to revolutionize IT service delivery and the business effectiveness of the organisations that adopt it.
"Cloud" said Capellas "will be mainstream within 24 months."
"This bus has already left the station. You can either be under it, or on it," he said.
The same message, with different emphasis was heard from other quarters. In the seminar theatres, VMware's Paul Strong detailed some of the technical challenges that still lay ahead.
Freeform Dynamics' Jon Collins offered timely advice on how to distinguish marketing hype deliverable reality in today's increasingly competitive IT infrastructure markets.
Meanwhile, I enjoyed talking directly to the latest compute, storage and network infrastructure product and technologies showcased by more than 230 exhibitors. LiveEnsure partnered with The Virtual Tech Group Basingstoke were busy as they talked to Cloud providers who need authentication to secure entry points of their systems.
Far sighted organisations are ready to invest in their future, and those who are will be looking closely at the security aspects of their cloud provider.

According to Nielsen, social networking is the most popular activity online.
In the battle for our digital attention, social media appears to be winning
Email now occupies less of our time online than gaming.
According to Nielsen, Americans spend almost a quarter of their time online on social networks and blogs. That's up from 15.8% a just a year ago (a 43% increase).
We are already seeing companies and individuals replacing email with social media using the share and chat facilities to communicate. Email seems set to become more of a utility tool for attachments and formal communication. Extended messaging and interaction between friends and coworkers now happens in other social media, twitter, facebook and linkedin.
Clearswift research shows the importance to employees of social access http://www.fastcompany.com/1650131/clearswift-employees-trust-internet-social-networking-management-pay.
Clearswift even labelled these folk "Generation Standby," and noted that some 57% of 25- to 34-year-olds surveyed already are social networking, shopping, and reading personal email at work. 21% of those surveyed even said they'd turn down the offer of a job that was otherwise good, but forbade access to the web Facebook and Twitter.
With so much emphasis on social interaction our focus is upon authenticating and protecting users. We are already working with intranet developers, web creators, web sites and apps on the Web that want/need strong security but not the hassle of being "sold" a security product. We are engaging with small/medium sites that the big guys cannot afford to chase down.
Finally, we offer no barrier to entry or exit, providing a smooth and seamless decisions process, take-up, integration, clear pricing and simple payment process.

Privacy in the Digital Society
Next Tuesday sees Europes most influential data privacy conference - A fine Balance in the digital society is at Westminster.
Todays world is powered by complex digital systems that create privacy challenges alongside great opportunities.
• It is estimated that humankind created 150 exabytes (billion gigabytes) of data in 2005. In 2010 we will create 1,200 exabytes. Despite an abundance of tools to capture, process and share this information, data is continuing to multiply at such a rate we need new ways to manage who can see, access and use it.
• There is no current regulatory model for a digital society. We need new rules based on what we already know about privacy, technology and data.
• We need to educate, consult and communicate with the people whose information is on the frontline.
A Fine Balance 2010 features high-profile speakers including from the Information Commissioner's Office, the legal profession, technology companies and civil liberties experts who will debate the latest thinking on how to maintain the integrity of data in a digital world.
Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions, vote and contribute to a report being developed to influence politicians and decision makers.
If you are transacting over the web this will bring you up to speed with the new legislation around privacy, the law has got tighter.
