Is the Enterprise Ready for the Cloud?
summary
Conclusion: enterprises are largely not ready for the cloud but that lack of readiness is irrelevant because cloud fundamentally reduces the cost of failure. Example: a revenue‑sharing SaaS that reliably made money is cancelled because annual budgeting cannot handle ongoing OpEx and the vendor dies. Example: test‑environment contention once costs hundreds of millions of dollars; cloud lets teams throw an IT stack at every project, enabling fail‑fast, faster time‑to‑market.
