Accenture Finds that Vast Majority of Companies are Embracing the Journey
to the Cloud but Alignment to Business Strategy Lags
Accenture’s “Cloud in the Boardroom” study found that although there’s a significant uptick in cloud adoption at the
enterprise level, companies are missing the full benefit of their cloud adoptions by not factoring their IT
implementations into their overall business strategy.
Accenture conducted an online survey, fielded between January and February of 2016, of 1,879 C-level executives of
companies across 15 industries in 13 countries. Some key findings include:
• More than 95 percent of respondents have a five-year cloud strategy already in place, however
only 38 percent have aligned these plans with overarching business goals.
• Four of five executives reported that less than half of their business functions are currently
operated in public cloud, but noted increasing intent on moving more of their operations to the cloud in
the coming years.
• 89 percent of respondents agree that implementing cloud strategies is a competitive advantage
which allows their companies to leverage innovation through agility.
• While half of respondents cite security as their biggest concern with the public model, more than 80
percent believe public cloud security is more robust and transparent than what they’re able to
provide in-house.

“Our research confirms that enterprise clients are overwhelmingly
recognizing the value of a Cloud First agenda—leveraging the cloud
to bring applications, infrastructure and business processes together
and be delivered as-a-Service—as a driver of digital innovation, and
they are upfront about the guidance they need in order to move even
faster on their journey to the cloud. By taking steps to align their cloud
and business strategies and to involve IT more directly in cloud
decision-making, companies will be better positioned on their journey
to the cloud as the as-a-Service economy matures.”
- Jack Sepple, senior managing director, Accenture Cloud
and Accenture Operations group technology officer
