An interesting observation on enterprise IT from RightScale’s State of the Cloud report (2015) is that while 88% of enterprises are using the Cloud, a staggering 68% of enterprises run less than 20% of their application portfolios on the Cloud.
This seemingly contrasting data can be easily explained when looking at these digital transformation projects closely. The key to understanding it lies not in the Cloud technology itself nor in the application architectures for the most part, but rather in the processes for developing, updating and operating mission critical applications.
