A new report has claimed that with the passage of time companies around the world are becoming accustomed to cloud computing, but at the same time they are also complaining that the service has a number of issues. The report was created from the results of a survey that was conducted by famous audit, tax and advisory firm, KPMG International. According to the survey, companies are at ease when it comes to the benefits of cloud service, but are complaining that the cost of the service is too expensive. In addition to this, they are also facing significant challenges like governance, operations and implementation, while using cloud services. One third of all the respondents to the survey have said that the cost of shifting to the cloud is higher than their expectations while a similar number of people reported they faced implementation challenges.
The Global Cloud Enablement Program leader for KPMG, Rick Wright, says, “One of the most important lessons uncovered by this research is that business process redesign needs to be done in tandem with cloud adoption, if organizations hope to achieve the full potential of their cloud investments. Simply put, executives have found that simultaneous process redesign is central to addressing the complexities that often arise in the implementation and operational phases of cloud adoption.”
Analysis of KPMG’s survey data also indicated that business executives are now seeing more benefits of using the cloud services besides just saving some cash by operating in this computing resource. Wright also explained that there are other long-term benefits of using cloud services as well, which includes more proficient overall processes, easy operating models and express speed to market. Apart from this the survey of KPMG also states that over 20 percent of the business executives have recognized that the two top three objectives of the cloud are improved new market access and guide business procedure transformation.
U.S. principal and services leader at KPMG LLP, Greg Bell says, “When thoughtfully implemented, many providers could actually offer robust and resilient security measures and controls that could enhance overall security in the cloud. Functions that – until just recently – were considered too sensitive or complex for Cloud are now being put on the table.”
Cloud Enablement lead for Tax at KPMG, Steve Fortier says, “We see time and again that the federal, state and international tax implications of various Cloud deployment approaches can significantly impact an initiative’s ultimate ROI. Bringing the tax department into discussions early can help companies avoid missing out on cost-saving opportunities or inadvertently creating significant tax risks.”
Wright also said that, “Considering a strategic approach is necessary to focus on core business goals while moving portions of the organization into a cloud environment, organizations should also look to leverage the opportunities for business transformation and change management that can occur as a result of a move into the cloud.”
