The insights in the paper discusses how technology has shaped up over the past two decades of this century to the present day of cloud computing, while bringing in a host of tech advances fueling the present generation of businesses. It also covers accelerators for cloud adoption and the driving force behind those accelerators.

Thereafter, it details out what we consider barriers preventing organisations from embracing cloud to the extent some other first movers and digital natives are using. The paper finally encapsulates with a view on how businesses can move forward when you are either the disruptor or the disrupted!
