The cloud computing wars between Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google and others are reshaping how businesses operate. The Information is looking to expand its industry-leading enterprise technology coverage with a reporter to focus on these major forces and how they wield power as well as their strategy, leaders and future. Part of the position will involve working with editors on an exciting new database project about the cloud computing industry. This franchise will help the reporter generate stories for The Information and bring more transparency to a field in which financial information about cloud or AI deals is guarded like a state secret. The position will build on the work of our team, which has revealed the surprises and complications that companies face when they move to the cloud. The horse race between the top cloud providers also promises to be dramatic. And the beat will delve into cybersecurity and artificial intelligence as those fields become more important to businesses. AWS and other cloud topics are consistently a top interest of The Information subscribers, which means this beat comes with a significant and serious audience on day one, and the power for great expansion.
