Harvard Business Review Study Links Cloud Computing to Increased Business Agility

Verizon Enterprise Solutions has released the findings of a study to evaluate the potential relationship between cloud computing usage and how businesses have marked up their agility and competitiveness.

Harvard Business Review conducted a survey of 527 HBR readers from large and mid-size organizations worldwide in order to find out the views of businesses and government organizations on cloud computing, Verizon said Tuesday.

The research shows 70 percent of respondents say they already have cloud infrastructure in place and 71 percent believe cloud could help minimize business challenges.

Seventy-four percent of respondents also say cloud services have helped to increase competitive advantage of their businesses.
