The report highlights an increased readiness to accept and exploit the benefits of cloud.

Most agree that cloud offers strategic benefits, and these look likely to transform business models to offer serious competitive advantage.

 

The vast majority of executives surveyed expect investment in 2012 to dramatically increase, with some organisations planning to spend more than a fifth of their IT budget on cloud next year.
