Although none of these trends is particularly innovative, the consultant confirms what companies are already considering as part of their work strategies in the cloud. Amit Sharma, one of the leading analysts in Technavio says that “cloud computing services facilitate rapid deployment and better use of IT infrastructure based on changing needs.” In addition, the cloud service provider must meet the requirements of “scalability and rapid deployment”, without forgetting the “availability of a number of applications that meet the needs of end users.” All this as a whole, promotes the adoption of private cloud services.
Increased adoption of hybrid cloud services
Services on the hybrid cloud enable organizations to comply with regulations while benefiting from its scalability. On the other hand, its implementation is more agile and fast, as they need not replace the existing IT infrastructure.
“Demand for hybrid cloud has been gaining popularity, especially among medium-sized enterprises” (Technavio)
The latest report published by SolarWinds, reveals that only 27% of companies have sufficient resources to manage a hybrid IT environment. Thus, Technavio predicts that suppliers will themselves help organizations in this process.
Greater adoption of BYOD policies
The greater flexibility of cloud services, and the implementation of more efficient security measures, drive companies to favor BYOD policies.

Proliferation of consulting services in the cloud
As you increase the options of cloud services, it will also increase the need for providers to advise companies about the services that are most appropriate for their business and guide them throughout the implementation process. Cloud services consultancies existed for years but now large suppliers are entering this advisory work. According Markets and Markets, this “broad growth [of cloud consulting] is due to advances in the integration of various services in the implementation model hybrid cloud […], and the growing adoption of the integration of Big Data, BYOD and mobility services in the cloud. “
