Companies are continuing to move along with adopting cloud computing even though they haven’t completed their formal strategies for using it, according to ZDNet.com.
Analyst IDC found that nearly three-quarters (69 percent) had already started using private cloud technologies, with nearly half (40 percent) saying they were using public and hybrid cloud.
But while some companies are already taking the plunge, 64 percent of UK organizations said they are still «considering» what to do with the cloud (compared to 60 percent in France and 52 percent in Germany).
Most enterprises’ cloud strategies aren’t particularly sophisticated, however, and focus on the technology-related drivers for cloud adoption, such as cutting the cost of IT, rather than business-related drivers, such as creating new revenue streams, according to IDC.
