The desire to move quickly toward cloud computing appears to be on the agenda for most organizations. This year, the average time before respondents thought their IT budgets would be 80 percent cloud-based was 15 months, indicating that Cloud First for many companies is progressing and remains the objective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Samani said \u201clook at one of the tenets of cloud: on demand self-service. You have multiple departments now almost in competition with IT, saying \u2018Well, you\u2019re telling me that it\u2019s going to take six weeks to get this server up, but I can get it up and running in Azure in 15 minutes.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
