Cloud Services Market Drivers

Increase in demand for cloud services

In opting for cloud computing, the service provides economic savings by way of cost cutting and a reduction in capital expenditures. In putting up an investment in physical IT resources, cloud computing services reduce costs and hence minimize capital expenditure. Proper deployment of private, public, hybrid, or community cloud services can be a very reliable resource for cutting overall operating expenses.

A survey conducted by Booz Allen Hamilton describes that the deployment of cloud computing services saves up to 50 to 60% of the total cost of ownership. Another survey conducted by the CIO magazine determines the belief of the company executives regarding the deployment of cloud computing services with respect to cost cutting. According to the survey 88% of the respondents pointed towards the cost cutting benefits. With the introduction of cloud-computing services the performances of the businesses in many sectors have tremendously increased over years. The following factors contribute in elevating business performance.

• Reduced costs and proper alignment of expenditures with business needs
• Strategies and rollouts of new services to customer needs
• Increased business resilience with the facility of disaster recovery services

Cloud computing services provide an excellent return on investment, which automatically increase the business agility. According to a survey conducted by FCW (The business federal technology) 44% of the companies believe that they get quick return on investment by using cloud-computing services.

Increase in adoption of cloud in SMEs

The last few decades have seen a tremendous rise in the number of entrepreneurs along with their small and medium organizations. Due to advantages offered such as cost cutting and business flexibility cloud computing services are in great demand, proving to be a boon for the start-up business. The needs of cloud computing services are rising due to growth in such small and medium enterprises.

According to a survey conducted by Microsoft Corporation, it was observed that the small medium businesses contributed to nearly 76% in the any country’s economy. Another fact that was discovered is that 79% of entrepreneurs believed that technology could make work more enjoyable. Most of the IT enterprises in the SMB’s need the advanced technology of cloud computing services to flourish their businesses and leave their footprints in various geographies.

Cloud computing service provides several functional advantages and is also an active part of overall growth in the cloud service market. The functional advantages provided by cloud computing service are there are no upgrade and instillation requirements now in the service, operational use of IT staff and shared resources now in the service. The elimination of any requirement to do regular upgrades and installations is beneficial to customers as it is now taken care of by vendors only.

Use of cloud computing services decreases the burden of the IT personnel to retain the IT infrastructure, thus making it possible for the personnel to work on other projects with increased utilization of the IT personnel. Additionally, the resources are well distributed to be used by each person involved in the cloud.

Analyst Opinion (Expert Opinion)

• The cloud service market is currently undergoing a transformation as organizations are shifting from merely cloud I.T. infrastructure to intelligent and AI-infused integrated cloud platforms. According to recent studies, over 70% of businesses in the United States are shifting toward a multicloud strategy in an effort to not only provide redundancy but to optimize SaaS, PaaS, as well as IaaS performance as well.
• The adoption patterns also highlight that hybrid and multicloud technologies lead the strategic plans, as firms are unwilling to be dependent on any single vendor. Case studies from the Japanese market indicate that it is the large-scale manufacturing firms that have embraced hybrid clouds as they require the integration of their ERPs with analytics and AI. Those vendors who do not provide flexible technologies that are AI-enabled and interoperable would find themselves losing their enterprise customers as these firms demand agility and scalability.
• The innovation leader is still in North America, but the Asia Pacific region is closing the gap as a result of the digital transformation movement and the expansion of local cloud providers like Huawei and Tencent.
