All time high for cloud use

The increase in cloud use among respondents’ organisations has been statistically significant each year

This suggests that cloud use is likely to continue this trend and increase even further in the future

Number of cloud-based services used

Figure 2: “How many different cloud-based services does your company use today?” Asked of respondents whose company has any hosted or cloud-based services in use today (195 in 2014; 209 in 2015)

Almost four in five (78%) cloud-using organisations use more than one cloud-based service

Almost four in five (78%) cloud-using organisations use more than one cloud-based service

This is an increase on the two thirds (67%) of organisations who were using

two or more cloud-based services in 2014

Organisations are not only more likely to be using cloud, they are also more likely

to be using more cloud services

This is likely to continue to increase in the coming years

Primary approach to IT

On-premise is no longer the primary approach that it was in 2014

Organisations are more likely to be using a hybrid approach in 2015

Although organisations are migrating to cloud more than ever (figure 1), there is still a desire to keep the approach on-premise to some extent

Moving everything to the cloud

Figure 4: “Do you foresee that you will ever move your entire IT estate to remotely hosted cloud services?” Asked of all respondents (250 in each year)

Half (50%) of respondents think that their entire IT estate will

move to the cloud at some point

Half (50%) of respondents think that their entire IT estate will

move to the cloud at some point

Respondents are more likely to think this move is feasible this year compared to 2014 (50% compared to 45% in 2014)

However, half remain adamant in 2015 that specific applications and services

will remain on-premise

There may always be a level of concern holding organisations back from moving

everything to the cloud

Cloud use in the next 12 months

Figure 5: Analysis of respondents who expect their organisation’s adoption of cloud services to increase over the next 12 months, by year. Asked of respondents whose company has any hosted or cloud-based services in use today ([X] respondents)

Figure 6: Analysis of respondents who anticipate cloud services being adopted by their organisation within 12 months, by year. Asked of respondents whose company does not currently have any hosted or cloud-based services in use today ([X] respondents)

From 2012 to 2014 there was a slow decline in respondents who anticipated cloud

adoption to increase in their organisation

However, this has increased in 2015 (70%) suggests more confidence than in the

previous two years that their organisation will expand their cloud use in the next 12 months

However, this has increased in 2015 (70%) suggests more confidence than in the

Of those without cloud now, only the minority (12%) anticipate cloud services to be adopted in the next 12 months

There may be a slowdown in the initial uptake of cloud services in 2016. However, for organisations already using cloud the number of different services is likely to increase
