According to SG Analytics, 94 percent of enterprises already use some kind of cloud service. In fact, this is only set to grow, with Gartner predicting that from last year, end-user spending on public cloud services will have increased by more than 20 percent, to reach $482 billion by the end of 2022. To capitalize on this, it is essential that enterprises approach their cloud adoption journey (and associated investment) with a long-term vision in mind.

However, issues preventing organizations from maximizing their savings do exist. For instance, vendor lock-in can stop businesses from achieving the best possible price performance ratio. Whilst a lack of control over data (opens in new tab) or infrastructure means that organizations must invest more heavily to meet their specific architecture requirements.

Another major issue is waste – many organizations end up investing too much in cloud packages and only using a small portion of the services. Even after addressing these issues, organizations which are concentrated solely on cutting costs will eventually reach the point of no return. They'll simply get to a point it's nigh-on impossible to make further savings, and returns will diminish.

To ensure both efficiency and profits, businesses should adopt a change of perspective. They should view the cloud as a money-maker, instead of a way to save money.
