Business growth through cloud
A strong profit link was identified when using cloud to bring new solutions and services to market, with Infosys stating that these investments provide a foundation to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and automation and build new cloud-based sources of revenue.
The study also found specific links between business profit growth and the use of cloud to develop and launch new solutions and bring new functionality to market with great speed.

“Today’s cloud creates a network effect across processes, data, content, experience and more. This network effect keeps enterprises relevant in a rapidly changing new digital age. The findings from the Infosys Cloud Radar 2021 comprehensively show that growth and profitability can be correlated to superior enterprise cloud adoption and orchestration.”
The data also suggests that cloud-fueled profit boosts attained by companies only kicked in when businesses had at least 60% of their systems in the cloud.
To benefit from AI on cloud, the bar is even higher as businesses have been advised to have at least 80% of their business functions in the cloud for AI to boost profit growth.
