Why Companies Should Begin Moving 100% To The Cloud

By Nikolaus Thumma, BitTitan

The cloud market today is a large and growing industry that continues to evolve, and innovation is taking place at every turn. Still, the untapped growth potential is significant. Consider this: Industry analysts report global IT spending is in the trillions of dollars, yet only $200 billion is in the cloud. This indicates that much of the spending is for on-premises software. It’s clear that the opportunity for continued cloud growth is abundant and the adoption rate is expected to accelerate.

Moving 100 percent to the cloud can be a complicated prospect for many businesses, but the benefits are growing and traditional barriers are being addressed, making this an increasingly compelling goal. BitTitan began moving to the cloud five years ago and is 85 percent of the way there. While the final 15 percent of the project poses the most difficult stretch to complete, the company has enjoyed the benefits of being an early adopter of this innovative technology. BitTitan has experienced first-hand what the cloud has to offer, including cost savings, higher availability and accessibility of data, and fast, simple deployment of patches and updates. Through its cloud journey, the company has made a monumental shift in the role of IT, which has helped strengthen company performance. BitTitan has a goal to move 100 percent to the cloud by the end of 2021.

There are many factors to consider when looking at moving fully to the cloud. Read on to learn more about what BitTitan has learned about moving to the cloud and why the company will continue down the path toward complete cloud adoption.
