The Cloud Transformation Timeline

Cloud transformation is often misunderstood in terms of its timeline and implementation. While some industry professionals envision a swift transition to cloud computing, the reality is that many organizations are only beginning their journey, even years after cloud technology has been established. The speaker suggests that the original projection of a 20-year transition might actually extend to 30 years, given that a significant number of companies still rely on traditional data centers. This highlights the disparity between those who have fully adopted cloud technologies and those just beginning to explore their potential.
