Cloud adoption is an expanding part of IT organisations’ strategies, and IT architects are growing more sophisticated in how they think about cloud.

In IDC’s recent worldwide CloudView Survey, we discovered that nearly 60% of organisations are currently using or planning to implement some form of cloud – whether for a single project, for test/development environments, or to run mission-critical applications 24 x 7 – but only 25% have reached the level that IDC would call “mature”- that is, building repeatable, managed, or optimised cloud strategies.

This study is based on IDC’s CloudView Survey and business value extension of 5841 executives at organisations. The survey profiled companies’ overall use of cloud as well as deployment strategies, adoption drivers and benefits, and requirements.
