Over the past ten years&#8217;, it has come a long way and is a critical part of today&#8217;s IT via its capabilities and expectations.<\/p>\n<p>In its first decade, it was problematic to IT. But now, as technology is continuously maturing, objections to cloud computing are lowering.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gartner, as cloud computing continuously evolves it should move away from experimentation and towards enterprise-wide implementation.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Adapting strategies<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAs it enters its second decade, cloud computing is increasingly becoming a vehicle for next-generation digital business, as well as for agile, scalable and elastic solutions,\u201d says\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/analyst\/6992\/David-Mitchell-Smith\">David Mitchell Smith<\/a>, vice president and Gartner Fellow in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/cloud-computing-enters-its-second-decade\/\">company&#8217;s blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCIOs and other IT leaders need to constantly adapt their strategies to leverage cloud capabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cloud computing has become essential for security analysis, with an array of vendors engaging a cloud-first approach to product design and some technology and business innovations available only as cloud services, including innovations in the IoT and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<h2>Designing roadmaps<\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, the number of organisations designing roadmaps to reflect the need to shift their strategies to the cloud has skyrocketed, with enterprises increasingly pressuring IT departments to embrace cloud computing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The key to an all-in cloud strategy is not to \u201clift and shift\u201d data centre content. Instead, enterprises should evaluate what applications within the data centre can be replaced with SaaS, refactored or rebuilt,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/cloud-computing-enters-its-second-decade\/\">continues Gartner in its blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The global research and advisory firm also stated
