CLOUD GROWTH THROUGH GLOBAL PANDEMIC
This week I had a discussion about the amount of change that happened over the past 18-24 months and whether or not that's normal (across industries)?
WHAT STAYS, WHAT CHANGES, and WHY?
- Not every company or industry reacted the same.
- Companies established new norms around remote work. This will impact future hiring.
- Companies adopted more remote-friendly technologies.
- Many customers began using more public cloud services (out of necessity) and it worked fine. They likely won’t abandon these technology choices.
- Companies are focused on how to adjust to these new normals, so they’ll prioritize things that work (in the short-term)
- Will this be a boom for people getting new cloud certifications?
- Will companies eventually do cost-cutting on cloud spending, since it was “just do it!” last year?
- Will this create the new “bi-modal” IT?
