Accelerating Forward: The State of Cloud-Driven Transformation
While the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic lit a fire under organizations’ plans for cloud adoption and implementation, the past year has poured fuel on those flames. “The pandemic has been the biggest single accelerant to cloud adoption that we’ve ever seen,” explains Dion Hinchcliffe, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research, a technology research and advisory firm based in Cupertino, Calif.
Amid the global volatility and uncertainty of the past two years, one thing has become clear: Cloud is integral to business success in the digital age. An October 2021 survey by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services of 300 respondents familiar with their organization’s cloud strategy and adoption confirms this point. The vast majority of respondents (81%) say that cloud is very or extremely important to their organization’s future strategy and growth.
