ENTERPRISE IT
“ For the past decade , multi-cloud adoption has grown due to healthy competition among leaders like AWS , Microsoft , and Google . Fierce competition pushed cloud providers beyond basic infrastructure services ( IaaS ) to offer more advanced platform services ( PaaS ) and increasingly software services ( SaaS ).
“ The problem is that most businesses have unconsciously taken a multi-cloud approach , organically building services on two or more cloud providers leading to more technical debt and cost , coupled with increased operational and cyber risk . Sure , companies quickly deliver services to the market , which justifies the approach , but there is a price . Put another way , we have effectively spent the last 40 years building technical debt on-premise and the last 15 years building it in the cloud , unconscious multi-cloud is a major reason for this !
“ Looking ahead to 2024 , a conscious multi-cloud approach will be key for enterprises that want to have access to a wider range of tech innovations , better commercial leverage over the cloud providers and an overall reduction in cloud technical debt .”
Accenture ' s Williams anticipates a continuous surge in demand for cloud as businesses seek technological transformation , driven by data and AI .
