Cloud adoption is still low

Cloud as a business accelerator is at the core of most transformation strategies.

Highly marketed, strategic partnerships between leading banks and hyperscalers come with high market expectations, yet, three years plus in the race, overall public cloud adoption is still low.

Common inhibitors for full adoption have been identified. While technical and organisational change challenges would be theoretically addressable, low maturity paired with high expectation of authorities around regulatory requirements and compliance in the cloud are still key inhibitors of scalable cloud modernisation and business transformation programs.
