Commentary from 451’s Peter ffoulkes:
The transformation of IT to a ‘client service’ model is notable and gaining momentum. While this is occurring in many forms, cloud-oriented projects are consolidating in an activity level at three times the level of other supporting projects, with internal private cloud projects leading the pack at 37%. Over the last year of the Cloud Computing Study there has been some pullback of public cloud activity. While these projects still outweigh traditional IT or ‘cloud-readiness’ projects at a similar level, there has been a small but noticeable shift toward private cloud project activity.
