Findings from our Cloud Report
Technical debt and legacy investment amongst medium-sized organizations result in complex environments, making it difficult to migrate services to the cloud.
If medium-sized organizations continue to lag their smaller and larger peers in their use of cloud technologies, they will find it increasingly difficult to compete in the digital economy.
