Cloud usage in companies with 100 to 1999 employees, for example, rose by seven percentage points to 62 percent in 2015, and in companies with 20 to 99 employees by as much as 11 points to 52 percent.<\/p>\n<p>At companies with 2,000 or more employees, usage increased by only one point to 69 percent at a comparatively high level. Pols:<\/p>\n<p>\"The midmarket has finally shed its reluctance to embrace cloud computing.\"<\/p>\n<p>According to the survey, the most widespread public cloud application is office software. 43 percent of the companies surveyed use text systems, spreadsheets or programs for creating presentations via the Internet, for example.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Majority in the cloud\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26924\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606.jpg\" alt=\"Chart scene 1606 Cloud\" width=\"1000\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606-768x605.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606-100x79.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606-480x378.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606-640x504.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606-720x567.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Chart-Szene-1606-960x756.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The skeptical attitude of some companies toward public clouds is also not reflected in the experiences of users.
