The agency said that “Significant differences can be observed across the EU Member States”.
More than half the businesses in Finland used cloud computing (57 percent), Eurostat said, adding that the figures were also high in Sweden (48 percent) and Denmark (42 percent).
“At the opposite end of the scale, cloud computing services were used by less than 10 percent of enterprises in Bulgaria and Romania (both seven percent), Latvia and Poland (both eight percent) as well as Greece (nine percent),” the report read.
Enterprises can access computing resources hosted by third parties on the internet instead of building their own IT infrastructure. This shared pool of resources is most commonly known as “cloud computing”. (rg)
