Many organizations that have adopted cloud services or are planning to do so say data analytics or big data is a primary driver, according to a new study by TriCore Solutions, a provider of application management products.
The company surveyed 236 U.S. IT professionals in April. While reduced costs and streamlined operations are the primary drivers for adopting cloud services, 41 percent said data analytics or big data were main factors in moving to the cloud. One quarter of the respondents said the Internet of Things (IoT) is a related driver.
