Acknowledging barriers to cloud adoption

There is no denying the fact that the global economy is witnessing the break-neck evolution to improve efficiency, security, elasticity, and innovation. At the top of the list are – Cloud initiatives. We did a short survey where we interviewed financial institutions, organizations, and IT executives to identify and position the barriers to their cloud adoption effects. After all, the road to the cloud’s transformational advantages is complex- incorporating a multitude of dimensions- technology, skills enhancement, agile business processes, organizational designs, and robust strategy. The barrier noted most frequently by all the respondents was “security and compliance risk” (46%). The next noted barriers were application sprawl and misalignment between the business operations and IT suppliers. After examining all the results, we concluded that these values are the fundamental requirement to cloud success and yet appear to be a challenge for many organizations.
