I read with interest the recently published Forrester report on hybrid multi-cloud strategy and noted how not everything has gone or will go cloud. Having sat on the boards of several industry cloud bodies, been asked to keynote at many events, provide commentary and cloud social influence and write for a range of large global vendors, from this perspective you would expect me to be a cloud advocate; someone who would profess that cloud is better, faster, cheaper, more secure. Indeed, I have come across many a story where a salesperson offering a ‘cloud’ solution promises the panacea to all woes.
Digital transformation projects are often seen to correlate with everything cloud and yet due to this according to an Everest Group survey, 73% of enterprises failed to provide any business value whatsoever from their digital transformation efforts.
