Growing Opportunities in Cloud-Related Technologies
As companies make the shift into remote work and build out digital HQs, they are looking to cloud-based technologies to support this great change in structure. The International Data Corporation (IDC) reported that cloud-related technologies accounted for 27% of digital transformation IT spending in 2021 with a 10% increase within the next four years. Digital technologies, such as Salesforce, are playing an instrumental part in helping organizations make the shift from paper to spreadsheets to smart applications.
