Building a cloud adoption strategy has become a crucial boardroom agenda for modern enterprises. It isn’t hard to understand why.
In the fight against COVID-19, the cloud has been mobilized in a number of ways to ensure resilience. The technology has been instrumental in enabling the work-from-home transition, moving learning online, and reinforcing data security among more.
MariaDB Corporation, in a global survey conducted in June 2020, revealed that over 40% of global enterprises had plans of accelerating their move to the cloud while 51% were pushing more applications in the cloud. An IDC survey indicated an uptake of 64% in adopting cloud and SaaS-based applications across Indian Inc. due to COVID-19. Gartner forecasted that the market size of the cloud industry is expected to be three times the growth of overall IT services through 2022.
Cloud adoption has reached an inflection point and is poised for bigger things if numbers are anything to go by. But, every rose has its thorn.
