Why do businesses invest into cloud technologies?
You no longer run the applications yourself.
You only pay forwhat you need.
You can scale up and down as things
change.

Who is ready to leverage the cloud?
• Compliance is a major hidden cost of the cloud. A recent market survey* showed that 23% of organizations have been fined for privacy violations in the cloud within the past 12 months.
• In the eyes of 80% of leading CIOs, the complexity of their own IT architecture is the biggest hurdle to cloud adoption, according to another market survey**.
• An online survey*** revealed that all respondents valued Application Right Sourcing as a key use case, but only 2 out of 3 respondents see it being adopted by their organization.
