CLOUD GROWTH THROUGH GLOBAL PANDEMIC

This week I had a discussion about the amount of change that happened over the past 18-24 months and whether or not that's normal (across industries)?

WHAT STAYS, WHAT CHANGES, and WHY?

1. Not every company or industry reacted the same.\\xa0
2. Companies established new norms around remote work. This will impact future hiring.
3. Companies adopted more remote-friendly technologies.
4. Many customers began using more public cloud services (out of necessity) and it worked fine. They likely won\\u2019t abandon these technology choices.
5. Companies are focused on how to adjust to these new normals, so they\\u2019ll prioritize things that work (in the short-term)\\xa0
6. Will this be a boom for people getting new cloud certifications?
7. Will companies eventually do cost-cutting on cloud spending, since it was \\u201cjust do it!\\u201d last year?
8. Will this create the new \\u201cbi-modal\\u201d IT?\\xa0
