Enterprise IT Trends - Azure
●Going forward Enterprise adoption is anticipated to create most of the growth
in Cloud. At least half of Enterprise IT spending will be Cloud based including
infrastructure and software services by 2018.
●Increasing number of Enterprise IT Organizations Will Commit to Hybrid
Cloud Architectures by the end of 2017.
●An increasing number of Enterprises Will Embrace Open Source and Open
APIs as the Underpinning for Cloud Integration Strategies.
●There Will Be a Shift of IT Budget Away from In House Delivery as more 3rd
party service providers are used to fill cloud related skills gaps.
