IT leaders are more optimistic than business leaders about cloud awareness
The leaders we spoke to are excited about the potential of new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AI). But they know their organization won’t benefit from these innovations without the right cloud strategy.
Our tech/IT team communicates with the rest of the business about our potential to innovate in the cloud:

But teams do want to collaborate more
Business and IT might have different ideas about whether the organization understands cloud, but our research suggests that the teams want to collaborate more.
