Category 1: By the year 2020, most of the IT professionals will not be using their PC or premise based systems for running their applications. With the emergence of smartphones and hosted applications, the traditional use of PC is likely to come to an end and internet will become a mandate for performing any operations.
Category 2: By 2020, most of the heavy operations will shift to the cloud while the basic operations will still continue on PC.
Category 3: Presented no views
Multi-user account management through remote server setup
Since accounting is a hefty affair and large organizations generally require enough for managing high-speed connectivity to hosted applications within the operational premises, the use of LAN is quite a feasible option. Most of the new computers with enhanced configuration are capable of easy connection with LAN. For the older ones, NIC card is required for establishing the connection. This network however comes with physical limitations. For employees on the go, a good Wi-Fi or 3G connection should be used with the mobile device.
Cloud Security and the Government Measures

For helping enterprises focus on their operations without having to worry about the issues, some of the security threats can be handled with the implementation of mandatory rules.
Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales, Cyber-Insider Threat, Insight Program, Machine Reading Program, Mind’s Eye Program, Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds, Programming Computation on Encrypted Data, Video and Image Retrieval and Analysis Tool, XDATA, Observational Medical Outcomes Project, Corporate Data Warehouse, Health Data Repository, Million Veteran Program and various other initiatives are undertaken by the Government for ensuring security of client data that is stored at multiple locations.
