You can&#8217;t always trust the numbers which can be twisted to prove whatever you like.  What about cloud statistics? Most statistics in headlines hype the exponential speed at which businesses are moving their IT workloads to the cloud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oreilly.com\/radar\/cloud-adoption-in-2020\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.oreilly.com\/radar\/cloud-adoption-in-2020\/\">88 percent or businesses have moved at least one application to the cloud<\/a> &#8212; O&#8217;Reilly<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logicmonitor.com\/resource\/the-future-of-the-cloud-a-cloud-influencers-survey\/?utm_medium=pr&amp;utm_source=businesswire&amp;utm_campaign=cloudsurvey\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.logicmonitor.com\/resource\/the-future-of-the-cloud-a-cloud-influencers-survey\/?utm_medium=pr&amp;utm_source=businesswire&amp;utm_campaign=cloudsurvey\">83 percent of enterprise workflows are in the cloud &#8212; Logic Monitor<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the stats are impressive, the hype makes it sound like the cloud is reaching a saturation point soon and cloud growth rates may begin to stagnate.  But that&#8217;s not really the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nicholasdimotakis\/?originalSubdomain=uk\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nicholasdimotakis\/?originalSubdomain=uk\">Nicholas Dimotakis<\/a>, Vice President at Canonical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationweek.com\/cloud\/how-quickly-are-companies-really-adopting-cloud-its-complicated\/a\/d-id\/1340504?\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.informationweek.com\/cloud\/how-quickly-are-companies-really-adopting-cloud-its-complicated\/a\/d-id\/1340504?\">said that<\/a> &#8220;while cloud computing is becoming ever-more common in enterprise IT, what the hype leaves out is that most companies are still relatively early in the adoption cycle. In fact, I\u2019d roughly estimate that among the organizations I work with, 60% are in the cloud laggard category, a paltry 10% are innovators, and the remaining 30% are somewhere in between. I think it\u2019s interesting and important to understand the true state of cloud uptake around the world because it shows that the market, as huge as it\u2019s become, still has a lot of room to grow.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canalys.com\/about\/Blake+Murray\/8922\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.canalys.com\/about\/Blake+Murray\/8922\">Blake Murray<\/a>, analyst at Canalys, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/cloud-technology-trend-software-enterprise-2021-2\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/cloud-technology-trend-software-enterprise-2021-2\">said that<\/a> &#8220;I think that cloud services are maybe \u2014 to steal the term \u2014 like a &#8216;new normal&#8217; for business. The growth will continue. There doesn&#8217;t seem to be anything that would change minds, especially if the economy stabilizes more. People will pour more investment into digital transformation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
