Irish firms outpacing UK in using cloud technology

Large Irish companies are adopting cloud technologies at a faster rate than their UK counterparts but have different reasons for wanting to do so, according to new research.

Almost four in ten Irish corporates have started moving to the cloud compared to just 22% of similar businesses in the UK.

Companies on either side of the Irish Sea appear to be motivated by different factors when it comes to investing in cloud, however, with UK businesses eyeing scalability as the key determinant.
