Companies plan to increase their spending on cloud infrastructure but may be slowing down on taking a “cloud-first” approach. These are two of the conclusions outlined in the Enterprise Strategy Group’s (ESG) “2022 Technology Spending Intentions Report.”
According to ESG’s report, the number of companies that said moving applications and infrastructure to the public cloud was their top IT priority dropped significantly from 17% in 2021 to 11% in 2022. On the other hand, a Harvard Business Review survey reports that 67% of respondents said they plan to accelerate their company’s move to the cloud. These industry studies point to both an eagerness and hesitancy on how to move to a cloud infrastructure.
