Technology provider Insight Enterprises, Inc. today released a list of businesses’ top five concerns as they consider moving to the Cloud.
“Businesses are asking the right questions about how the Cloud will work across infrastructure, platforms, and applications, and many are starting to embrace the efficiencies and potential benefits from improved agility, greater employee collaboration, and reduced IT complexity,” said Harish Krishnamurthy, senior vice president, Insight Cloud Services. “However, we are still seeing adoption apprehension because of concerns surrounding security and data management. The benefits the Cloud offers are immense, however, and clients are reporting that Cloud options can be faster, safer and a better value than traditional IT. Because of this, we believe that Cloud services will increasingly become the norm for businesses, not the exception.”
The top five priority concerns for businesses are: Cloud security, change in the workplace, return on investment, trust in the cloud and a lack of knowledge surrounding the transition.
Despite these concerns, Insight found businesses that migrated to the Cloud in 2014 reported they solved trust and security issues by vetting third-parting providers, increased employee satisfaction, and were able to access advanced features at predictable costs.
