#TheFutureOfCloud

Cloud Momentum“If you’re resisting the cloud because of security concerns, you’re running out of excuses.”

“The question is no longer: ‘How do I move to the cloud?’ Instead, it’s ‘Now that I’m in the cloud, how do I make sure I’ve optimized my investment and risk exposure?’”

“By 2020 clouds will stop being referred to as ‘public’ and ‘private’. It will simply be the way business is done and IT is provisioned.”

6x … faster growth in SMB spending on business apps in the cloud versus on premises over the next three years (2015–2018)

70% of organisations will have embraced a cloud-first strategy in 2016
