Accenture buys Navisite in its 4th acquisition of 2024
The global end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.4% to $678.8 billion in 2024, up from $563.6 billion in 2023, according to a report from Gartner.
The spending will see a boost due to the proliferation of new technologies such as generative AI, which requires massive infrastructure that public cloud can provide, Gartner said.
