45%
of IT budgets will be devoted to IT cloud initiatives
with
15%
being devoted to public cloud.
and yet…
A vast majority of the global 2,000 will still have more than
70%
of their IT on-premises.
In 2013, Microsoft agreed with Gartner, acknowledging that:
Over the next 5 to 7 years
35%
of on-prem SharePoint customers stated that they would never move to the cloud
50%
would adopt a hybrid strategy
15%
would become pure cloud customers, shutting down all on-prem infrastructure
In 2014, some Microsoft leaders amended those predictions, stating that:
Over the next 5 to 7 years
20%
of on-prem SharePoint customers stated that they would never move to the cloud
70%
would adopt a hybrid strategy
10%
would become pure cloud customers, shutting down all on-prem infrastructure
According to Seth Patton, Sr. Director of Product Management for the SharePoint team:
“80 percent of Fortune 500 companies still use SharePoint on-premises, with 38 percent of the entire SharePoint client base using the online version through Office 365”

According to Nick Kellet, SharePoint MVP and CTO at StoneShare, there are four major "virtues" the IT Pro can assist the business with:
1. Discipline: the effort required to understand how the technology works, what its potential is and what limitations it has. It also describes the effort needed to adhere to the governance guidelines, any development standards that are in place, and industry and community best practices.
2. Vision: provides a road map for IT and End Users to understand where they are heading collectively. Without a shared vision development is inherently tactical and aimless.
3. Communication: without it, IT Pros and end users have no realistic chance to pull in the same direction, even if they are disciplined and share the same vision.
4. Leadership: helping end users understand how the development process works, what the software life cycle stages are, how to gather and communicate business requirements to each other and to IT.

Advice from Robert Toro, Portals & Collaboration practice director for Slalom Consulting in Chicago, on how to prepare for the IT Pro:
1. Focus on learning the cloud platform vendors and offerings – this includes cost models and SLAs
2. Know the incumbent and challenger platforms in your vertical – pay attention to where the innovation is occurring and be able to recommend new technologies and platforms when the cost/benefit threshold is reached.
3. Learn Identity Management models and have a working knowledge of IdM Authentication protocol
4. Be a thought leader when it comes to the intersection of the consumerization of IT and enterprise technology – organizations need a ton of help in empowering a workforce whose technology wants and desires cannot be addressed by the IT status quo.
