State of Cloud Webinar Landing Page Hero

As leaders shift from a migration to adoption stance on cloud computing, they’re struggling to find and drive customer value from their cloud solutions.

According to our new State of Cloud report, although 90% of organizations are operating in the cloud, only 27% are able to drive better outcomes for their customers. Why? Because their technology adoption outpaces their processes and skills in the cloud.

In this webinar, Pluralsight’s Chief Cloud Strategist, Drew Firment, sits down with David Linthicum, Chief Cloud Strategy Officer at Deloitte Consulting, and Keith Townsend, Principal and Founder of The CTO Advisor, to discuss their thoughts and insights on the state of cloud computing today and where they see it trending for the future.
