Global Enterprise Cloud Services Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global enterprise cloud services market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global enterprise cloud services market will grow at a significant CAGR of close to 24% during the forecast period. Much of this growth can be attributed to the recent shift in enterprise business models to cloud-based solutions to increase infrastructure flexibility. A key driver which will drive market growth is the introduction of cloud computing and its increased adoption by companies around the world. Some of the inherent advantages of using cloud computing are easily deployable models and simplified IT management and maintenance. In a cloud-based model, the end users can rely on providers for reliable delivery, management, and support of all services while using third-party applications, which are not covered by the enterprise firewall. Another reason behind companies opting for cloud computing is that security for all levels of IT architecture is built-in, which makes secure access easy, even remotely. The various advantages offered by cloud services will lead to its increased adoption among enterprises.

Enterprises of all sizes are rapidly adopting cloud computing as it is cost efficient and very reliable. Cloud computing is being increasingly adopted as many companies offer flexibility to employees in the form of the BYOD policy. Cloud computing allows employees remote access to work related documents on their mobile phones and laptops. Virtual networks with secure login credentials make it easy to work from any location and share relevant documents quickly. The widespread availability and increased adoption of different cloud-based services by companies will positively influence this enterprise cloud services market size over the next few years.
