NTT DATA released its latest report titled Cloud-led Innovation in the Era of AI: The New Rules for Driving Value with Cloud, which revealed that although cloud adoption has been going on for almost two decades, only 14% of organizations have reached the highest level of cloud maturity.
Based on a global survey of more than 2,300 senior decision makers in 33 countries, these findings highlight a paradox as cloud takes on a new and crucial role in running AI operational models.
As many as 99% of companies state that AI increases the need for cloud investment, but 88% assess that the current investment level actually risks hindering AI, cloud-native, and modernization initiatives.
In addition, although cloud is considered important for innovation, less than half of companies are satisfied with its impact and with the progress of modernization they have achieved. This shows a gap between ambition and reality amid rising expectations.
Companies that fall into the cloud leaders category or have reached the "cloud evolved" stage with mature cloud adoption and impact and strong business performance, have a superior position in utilizing AI.
"The development of AI exceeds the maturity level of cloud in companies. Companies that fail to develop a cloud foundation risk hindering the growth and value of their own AI investments," said President, Global Head of Cloud and Security, NTT DATA, Inc., Charlie Li.
