In a recent study by RHT (Robert Half Technology) it was found that 23% of CIOs and IT directors around the UK have said that they have no plans to migrate their IT systems to the cloud.
Smaller companies less eager
In addition, although many previous surveys suggested that smaller companies were among the first to migrate, RHT’s research shows that 38% of them are even less likely to migrate. The medium companies were 8% and large companies were 12%.
Why?
The research also shows that the biggest barrier to migrate remains as security. 45% of the respondents said that it was their key concern. Other concerns included Data integrity, costs, speed of service and continuity of service.
RHT senior Manager stated “It’s surprising that so many heads of IT appear to have not embraced the value of cloud technology, although this may be partly due to the lack of understanding of the benefits and how it can be applied to their organisation”.
