Report: Where’s the value from cloud investments?
Stephanie Condon, ZDNet, June 15, 2021
“Across the board, business and technology leaders from a range of sectors agree that cloud computing tools are critical for a company’s growth, a new PwC survey shows. However, more than half said they’re not realizing substantial value from their cloud investments.

It starts with aligning objectives — the survey shows that, based on their role, executives have different ideas about the goals they aim to achieve with cloud computing.”
