What's in store for the channel in 2017?

It's that time of year, where we attempt to predict what will have the greatest impact on the IT channel over the next 12 months. These are our top picks. Something that's starting to come up with more regularity, 'unclouding' is the realisation among organisations that the cloud may not be the most cost effective way to deliver all their IT workloads. With the promised cost savings customers thought they were getting not materialising, 2017 will see customers moving some workloads out of the cloud and back on-premise. Plus, in the future, we will see a more sensible approach to where to host workloads.
