Search Cloud Computing, Monday, March 24th, 2025
Cloud staff that is shorthanded or lacks skills can be a detriment to the business. Projects are left incomplete, security suffers and innovations are pushed off just to survive.
There is always discussion of a skills gap in the IT industry. IDC indicated that more than 90% of organizations will face IT skills shortages by 2026, which will cost them an estimated $5.5 trillion. Expect a significant number of those shortages to represent cloud skills.
Today, well-trained cloud staff are in demand. The cloud market continues to grow, and Gartner forecasted that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services in 2025 will be $723.4 billion, a 21.5% increase from $595.7 billion in 2024.
