The landscape of cloud computing is changing as more companies are adopting cloud computing infrastructures and integrating cloud into their strategy for growth. A recent study indicated that nearly half of enterprises are beyond the pilot phase of cloud adoption and nearly a third have defined a cloud computing strategy for their business(1). Furthermore, the strategic importance of the platform is expanding the discussion beyond the typical IT buyer. In fact, 72% of business users viewed cloud computing as a strategic lever for growth compared to their IT counterparts where 58% had the same sentiment(2). As adoption increases and cloud becomes more strategic to enterprises, cloud sales organizations are evolving to more effectively sell their offerings and compete in a crowded marketplace.
