Maintenance costs continue to riseIt has been reported that 60-80% of IT budgets, on average, are spent on maintaining legacy applications and the mainframe systems they run on. Previous research had put the figure between 50 and 70%, suggesting that the expense of maintaining these systems is growing as they continue to age.

You’ve made a new commitment to responsible business practices

Businesses that run applications in the cloud can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by about 30 per cent or more compared to running those same applications on their own on-premise infrastructure. […] And when it comes to small businesses moving to the cloud, the research revealed that net energy and carbon savings can sometimes hit more than 90 per cent.
