Microsoft Survey Highlights Cloud Movement Across the US

We have written before about the cloud and the transformation impact it will have on Utilities and we believe it is clear that cloud computing will shape the way organizations in all industries do business in the future.

Last week we named some of the country’s top “cloud-friendly” U.S. cities. The rankings are based on the results of an extensive survey in which 2,000 IT decision makers nationwide discussed how they are adopting and using cloud computing.

The cities are ranked based on how local businesses are adopting and using cloud computing solutions – including hiring vendors to migrate to the cloud, seeking IT professionals with cloud computing experience, and creating new lines of business based on cloud platforms. The survey indicates that cloud computing is not only a growing sector of the IT services community, but helping to create new businesses and jobs locally.
