According to a PwC Research study, 66% of organisations plan to increase their cloud budget this year, underscoring the growing recognition of cloud technologies as a driver of success. Companies that have embraced cloud-powered transformation have witnessed a multitude of benefits, including improved decision-making processes, increased productivity and agility, enhanced cyber posture and resilience, cost savings, improved profitability, and enhanced customer experiences. However, barriers such as budget constraints, talent gaps, and the lack of effective measurement and leadership hinder organisations from achieving measurable value from cloud technologies.
