2023 saw momentum build exponentially around Cloud utilization, and 2024 may be even bigger. Upwards of 50% of organizations have yet to migrate their workloads to the cloud. Cloud resources have increasingly become key components in the evolution of a successful business strategy. Even companies that have already migrated are increasing their use of cloud-based services and products, up to over 40% of an increase.
