Abstract
The most alluring quality of cloud services is their potential to increase business agility. However, not all firms investing in cloud-based services are competitively agile. What does it take to become more agile using cloud-based services? MIT CISR research found that a mature digitized platform is a critical success factor. This briefing draws on findings from a survey of 300 companies and examples of initiatives at Schneider Electric and Ferrovial to explain how cloud services both depend on and can contribute to a mature digitized platform that enables competitive agility.
