Poll: Do You Think Cloud Strategies Are More Mature?

One of the conclusions from our Silicon 360 panel was that cloud strategies have matured in the past few years as organisations acquire a greater understanding of the cost, cultural and technical aspects – but do you agree?

Cloud strategies

Our panel said that whereas a few years ago, cloud-able businesses might have elected to throw every single application at one public cloud vendor just because it was on trend – organisations were taking a more considered approach.
