Couple weeks off posting, but I'm back with some "exciting STATS"! (I know those two words don't combine well together but bear with me here...) Came across this article today talking about the exponential growth of multi-cloud environments in the UK. Here are my takeaways: :- In the next one to three years, the UK's use of multiple public clouds is expected to rise to 46%, far exceeding the global average of 26%. :- Sustainability remains the big focus, with 92% of UK organisations prioritising sustainability, focusing on increasing investments, followed by IT modernisation. :-In the UK, 59% of organizations recover from ransomware attacks within hours, the fastest rate among surveyed countries, despite recovery times being similar across other regions, taking in many cases days to recover. It seems like the UK is taking the lead in terms of Cloud adoption & IT modernisation which is proving to be largely beneficial for most companies, improving efficiency and cost optimisation heavily. What do you think, do you see the United Kingdom at the forefront of IT modernisation in Europe?

One of the most interesting data points Fergal saw recently came from the Barclays Survey of CIOs. Here’s the headline: “83% of enterprise CIOs in Barclays survey plan to repatriate at least some workloads in 2024, up from the low point of 43% in 2020 H2.” Now, that’s a heck of a stat. So, in this newsletter, Fergal unpacks this a little more. He explains why he thinks #AI is the driving force behind this. And offer a view of how he expects it to impact those in the enterprise. These are interesting times, hold on tight. 👀 #artificialintelligence
