Portland, OR (PRWEB) February 29, 2012
A new study from Cloud Industry Forum(CIF), sponsored by Rise, a premier provider of cloud computing and hosted IT services, reveals the extent of US cloud computing adoption and satisfaction, and depicts the changing business rationale for migrating to the cloud. The research will aid enterprises in evaluating current market readiness for cloud services in the US, and provides insight into primary drivers and key issues when considering cloud services as part of a wider IT strategy.
The research is based on a survey of 400 senior IT and business decision-makers in enterprises, small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and public sector organizations. It examines the extent of adoption in cloud services across the US by different organizational types and sizes; primary drivers; role of IT management and leadership; services being accessed; satisfaction levels; and common issues that impede adoption.
According to the findings, the US leads global adoption of cloud services with very high levels of formal adoption and satisfaction. As a result, most organizations currently using cloud services plan to expand use to other areas of IT operations over the next year.
Cloud computing is less about technology and more about challenging the fundamentals of how we manage IT operations, and therefore, business as a whole. This latest research from Cloud Industry Forum suggests that organization size will no longer be a determinant of rate of adoption marking a unique phenomenon in business IT where it is genuinely accessible to all, said Andy Burton, chairman of the Cloud Industry Forum and CEO of Rise. Cloud computing in the US is widespread, proven and will continue to propel business enablement and transformation.
