Businesses are not reaching their hoped-for levels of cloud innovation, despite leaders making the technology an investment priority.
The shortcomings are the result of a disconnect between strategic cloud priorities and innovation success, a Deloitte survey of 500 cloud decision makers found. For example, 89% of respondents want to increase efficiency and agility using the cloud, but only 65% have found innovation success.
When it comes to the cloud, “it was very difficult to get the planning done, very difficult to get the resources in line and it was much harder than [businesses] thought,” said David Linthicum, chief cloud strategy officer at Deloitte.
