Challenges in the cloud Challenges in the cloud- Cloud has boomed in popularity over the past decade and adoption will unquestionably continue to increase during 2020. In fact, according to Gartner, the global public cloud services market is expected to grow 17 per cent in 2020. This will see it reach a value of $266.4 billion, up from $227.8 billion in 2019. Adoption is being driven by businesses and governments alike who are embracing cloud for its low cost, flexibility, ease and speed of deployment, as well as its security. Not to mention its suitability for the remote workforce, which is a critical consideration in the current climate.

Failure to do so will mean they are not be able to enjoy the full benefits cloud can deliver. Benefits that include improved productivity in the office environment, as well as when working from home, which can open the door to innovation, and, in the long run, growth.
