According to our recent research, most medium and large enterprises are migrating to cloud computing.  About 33% of the sample is a current user and additional 8% are piloting it.

This group, known as Cloud Pioneers, is not composed of a group of just SaaS users, either.  To be considered a Cloud user, an enterprise had to be testing or using a Cloud model other than SaaS.  This included any kind of private or public cloud, be it Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).  Furthermore, they also had to actually have people working on it.  Another 16.8% are planning for Cloud.  This group is aptly called the Cloud Planners.  The remaining 42.1% are the Cloud Stragglers, those organizations with no current Cloud plans.
