Moving to the cloud will be the number one investment priority for UK IT decision-makers this year, according to the 2019 Computer Weekly/TechTarget IT Priorities survey.

A deeper dive into exactly what enterprises plan to do in the cloud revealed a growing appetite among respondents for increasing their use of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) technologies over the next 12 months.

Market watcher Gartner’s data suggests the public cloud services market will grow by 17.3% in 2019 to be worth $206.2bn. According to Gartner’s figures, the IaaS market is on course to grow by just over a quarter (27.6%) this year and will be worth $39.5bn, while the PaaS market is set for similar growth of 23.7% to $18.8bn.
