As a catalyst for innovation, cloud offers myriad opportunities for business transformation.
Like with all other industries, the need to rapidly adapt to change has spurred digital transformation and new business models in travel, transportation, and logistics. As a catalyst for innovation, cloud offers myriad opportunities to address long-standing challenges across the travel, transportation, and logistics industry while unlocking new areas for growth. The Global Cloud Study from TCS reveals that while travel, transportation, and logistics organizations are eager to unlock the promise of cloud-enabled innovation, they have yet to tap into its full potential.
Travel, transportation and logistics organizations have a high level of confidence in cloud.
An image showing whether companies think cloud is crucial to their organization’s future. 75% of travel, transportation, and logistics companies say cloud is crucial to their organization’s future as a catalyst for innovation compared with 59% of total respondents across all industries.
Further, organizations surveyed show a strong commitment to an innovation-led transformation rooted in cloud and take the long view of cloud investments.

By providing enterprises with the scalable infrastructure and resources to harness large amounts of data, cloud has accelerated the adoption of data-intensive technologies.
Travel, transportation, and logistics organizations have been quick to capitalize on these technologies, with a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Travel, transportation, and logistics companies are increasingly putting sustainability at the core of their operations.
Eco-friendly initiatives such as optimized travel routes, reduced waste, and shared resources are reshaping the end-to-end value chain. Travel, transportation, and logistics respondents see cloud as an important factor in their sustainability initiatives.

There is a growing pressure to better align cloud investments with requirements.
A sizable number of respondents see room for improvement when it comes to aligning their cloud investments with their requirements. While nearly half say they have invested appropriately in cloud in the past three years, nearly as many say they over-invested over that same period.
An image showing whether transportation and logistics companies have invested appropriately, over-invested, and under-invested in cloud. 45% of respondents say they invested appropriately in cloud over the past three years, 40% of respondents say they over-invested, and 15% of respondents say they under-invested.
TCS’ Thought Leadership Institute conducted this study of approximately 1,000 senior executives in multiple sectors across Asia, Europe, North America, and the United Kingdom, more than half with revenue over $5 billion. The 972 C-suite and IT senior executives and decision makers included 55 senior leaders in the travel, transportation, and logistics sector.
