摘要：	With public Cloud service spending expected to grow 18.4% in 2021 to $304.9 billion (up from $257.5 billion last year) and the Cloud projected to make up 14.2% of the total global enterprise IT spending market in 2024 (up from 9.1% in 2020), it just makes sense for warehouse management systems (WMS) to follow this trend and move full-bore into the Cloud. Early on, WMS let transportation management systems (TMS), global trade management systems (GTM), and other supply chain execution software grab the Cloud spotlight. The sentiment was that if a company's operations were behind its own four walls-as in the case of warehouse management-then there was little need to use Cloud computing to "connect" to outside business partners, customers and more. With this in mind, many companies stuck to the on-premise software delivery approach when selecting WMS. Fast-forward to 2021, and WMS is now getting more firmly entrenched in the Cloud. "We're very close to becoming Cloud-first with WMS, and it has been a long journey when you compare WMS to other supply chain software applications,' says Dwight Klappich, research vice president at Gartner.
