FRESNO, California – Cody Sarhan, Communications Specialist
Let’s be blunt: if your business still hasn’t made the jump to the cloud, you’re officially behind the curve — and your competitors know it.
According to CDW’s 2024 Cloud Computing Research Report, nearly half of all organizations have already moved at least half of their apps to the cloud. And by 2027? Most are expecting to run three-quarters or more of their workloads on cloud platforms.
Leveraging the cloud is no longer a thing of the future — it’s the new baseline.

The Cloud is Your Safety Net
There’s a reason businesses are ditching outdated, on-prem systems. Actually, there are several. For starters, the cloud gives you scalability without hardware headaches, accessibility for remote teams, and — maybe most importantly — reliability when everything goes sideways.
In the same survey, 57% of tech leaders said the cloud drastically improved their recovery capabilities. So when disaster strikes, they’re not scrambling to recover lost files from that dusty server in the closet. They’ve got redundancy, backup restoration, and full data recovery on their side. If a wildfire takes out their business, they have everything saved.
Oh, and 48% also said security is better in the cloud. So if you’re still holding onto the idea that keeping your data “in-house” is safer? You might want to rethink that.
Clients Are Moving Fast. Don’t Let Them Outgrow You!
Customers want agility. They want seamless collaboration. They want security they can trust. And they’ll go wherever they can find it. If your business can’t scale with demand, can’t deliver on uptime, or is one server crash away from a meltdown, clients will start looking for partners who can.
The businesses seeing real results? They’re not just lifting and shifting to the cloud — they’re optimizing once they get there. They’re embracing smarter infrastructure, rethinking their workflows, and letting the cloud do the heavy lifting.
If that sounds like something only enterprise companies do, think again. Mid-size and small businesses are making the leap because not doing so is costing them more — through downtime, tech limitations, and lost opportunities.
The Real Risk Isn’t Cloud Migration — It’s Falling Behind
Integrating cloud tech isn’t always plug-and-play. Plenty of businesses struggle to blend on-prem systems with modern cloud platforms. And yes, costs can be a concern — especially for smaller teams.
But what’s worse: investing a little upfront to modernize your infrastructure, or sticking with outdated systems that are slow, inflexible, and holding you back — while risking the loss of your entire database if something goes wrong?
Most cloud setbacks aren’t dealbreakers, they’re solvable with the right partner and a clear migration plan. The real risk is waiting until you’re so far behind that catching up feels impossible.
Still Hesitant? The AI Wave Isn’t Slowing Down Either
In a recent survey, nearly 80% of businesses are using AI in some form — and guess where they’re running those workloads? You guessed it: the cloud. If your infrastructure can’t support the tools your competitors are already using to get ahead, you’re not just behind — you’re losing ground.
