The third annual State of Cloud Strategy Survey<\/a>, commissioned by HashiCorp and conducted by Forrester Consulting, focuses on operational cloud maturity — defined not by the amount of cloud usage but by adoption of a combination of technology and organizational best practices at scale.<\/p>\n The results were unambiguous: The organizations using operational best practices are deriving the biggest benefits from their cloud efforts, in everything from security and compliance to availability and the ability to cope with the ongoing shortage of critical cloud skills<\/a>. High-maturity companies were more likely to report increases in cloud spending and less likely to say they were wasting money on avoidable cloud spending.<\/p>\n The seven headline numbers below capture many of the survey’s most important findings, and you can view the interactive State of Cloud Strategy Survey microsite<\/a> for detailed results and methodology. Read on to learn more about our cloud maturity model and some of the key differences we found between high and low cloud-maturity organizations.<\/p>\n
