For enterprises built before or outside of the digital ecosystem, the pull of cloud computing can feel more like a shove. It needn’t seem that way.
The impact of the cloud
According to the TCS 2020 CIO Study, cloud computing has had the biggest impact of any technology on business. Three-quarters of CIOs said cloud’s impact had been “high” or even “extreme” in the past decade. And more than two-thirds (68%) continue to characterize cloud’s expected impact as high or extreme over the coming decade, joined by such cloud-dependent, cloud-enabling, or cloud-friendly technologies as artificial intelligence (79%), machine learning (72%), and the Internet of Things (67%).
