With the holiday season upon us, we can’t help but look back at 2014 as we also look ahead to 2015 because where we’ve been so often dictates where we will go.
In 2014, we saw an increase in cloud adoption as the cloud conversation shifted from cloud being merely a concept to an enterprise solution. Additionally, what we’ve seen as cloud has gained traction is that it brought along with it complexity that often requires more managed services. And so, in 2014 we saw an expansion in managed services as larger enterprises started to implement more cloud solutions and developed a need for more agility.
As with anything, business is cyclical and everything is connected, and so as cloud adoption and managed services saw expansion so did business-level selling, encompassing more than IT.
I predict that these three trends will endure and gain momentum into 2015 and will continue to shape the business landscape.
What top trends did you see in 2014 and where do you see things going in 2015?
