Cloud Computing: The Average Company Will Have More Than Half of their IT Operations in the Cloud in 2016
Another report, this time from IDG, finds that cloud computing technology is widespread in usage across companies. In the survey, 72 percent of companies say that they have at least one application in the cloud. 56 percent of businesses say that they are still identifying IT operations that could be converted to the cloud.
8 percent of businesses already have all of their IT environment running in the cloud. By the end of this year, companies on average have 56 percent of their IT environment in the cloud.
Some other findings of the IDG report include:
- APIs are central to enterprise cloud plans with 90 percent of companies saying that they will use them
- In 2016 one-quarter of total IT budgets will be devoted to cloud computing
- Enterprises continue to say that security is their biggest problem
Brian Glynn, chief revenue officer of IDG Enterprise, said that “we are in a time where every organization must structure themselves to be fluid and flexible to adapt to market needs and changes, and cloud proves to be a fundamental component of that. As cloud capabilities and offerings continue to mature and tech departments get their legacy systems in order, this creates opportunities for cloud users and vendors to innovate, whether it be proposing new solutions or upgrading current ones to meet the needs of businesses today.”
