The cloud is the stuff of dreams. It promises CIOs a return to the business game, with improved time-to-market and simplified scaling, in the face of shadow IT's undiminished appeal. In this white paper, Almond and Eurogroup Consulting analyze the effectiveness of the steps taken by organizations. They also question the relevance of the value proposition offered by the cloud. This publication is the result of a survey carried out with a representative panel of our customers: Chief Information Officers, Chief Technical Officers and Chief Information Security Officers.
AN ELDORADO TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
The figures for Cloud Service Providers, which are still growing strongly, conceal a mixed reality for those who have thrown themselves wholeheartedly into the Cloud revolution.
Indeed, the implementation of the cloud is reshuffling the cards for CIOs, by re-examining the organization's ability to transform itself and propose new delivery models, which have changed little or not at all since the emergence of ERP.
