Accenture finds vast majority of companies are embracing journey to cloud but alignment to business strategy lags

New Delhi, Sept 27 (IBNS):According to research from Accenture released on Tuesday, although there’s a significant uptick in cloud adoption at the enterprise level, companies are missing the full benefit of their cloud adoptions by not factoring their IT implementations into their overall business strategy.

The “Cloud in the Boardroom” study of nearly 1,900 c-suite executives across the world, found that while more than 95 percent of respondents have a five-year cloud strategy already in place, only 38 percent have aligned these plans with overarching business goals, read the company website. 

The survey also revealed enormous potential for hybrid and public cloud growth across all 15 surveyed industries, with four of five executives reporting that less than half of their business functions are currently operated in public cloud, but noted increasing intent on moving more of their operations to the cloud in the coming years.

“Our research confirms that enterprise clients are overwhelmingly recognizing the value of a Cloud First agenda – leveraging the cloud to bring applications, infrastructure and business processes together and be delivered as-a-Service – as a driver of digital innovation, and they are upfront about the guidance they need in order to move even faster on their journey to the cloud,” said Jack Sepple, senior managing director, Accenture Cloud and Accenture Operations group technology officer.
