To Sum Up: Cloud is Critical But ‘Insufficient’ for ‘Cultivating Value’

More organizations are turning to cloud to transform themselves into cloud-first thinkers and users, according to Accenture. With that in mind, here are some closing thoughts from Accenture’s “Cloud Outcomes Research 2022”:

“A cloud-first organization is one that thinks not only about how cloud can fundamentally reinvent their business, but also how their business needs to be reinvented for cloud. In other words, organization must think about cloud … first. In doing so, they will see not only the opportunities available today, but those that cloud, and new technologies, [have] yet to uncover.”

Note, though, that Accenture contends that while cloud migrations are necessary, they represent an “insufficient step in cultivating value.”
