Cloud adoption in Iraq has accelerated significantly over the past few years. Businesses across Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, and other major cities are moving away from traditional on-premise infrastructure and embracing cloud services to improve flexibility, reduce costs, and support growth.
From Microsoft 365 email and collaboration tools to Azure-based infrastructure and hybrid cloud environments, Iraqi organizations are realizing that cloud technology is no longer optional. It has become a practical foundation for modern business operations.
In this article, Osous Al Taqnia explains the current state of cloud adoption in Iraq, the challenges organizations face, and the real business benefits cloud services deliver when implemented correctly.
Several factors are driving cloud adoption across Iraqi businesses and public-sector organizations.
Maintaining on-premise servers, storage, power, cooling, and backup systems has become expensive and difficult to scale.
Many Iraqi companies now operate across multiple cities or work with international partners, making centralized cloud access essential.
Businesses want IT systems that can grow or shrink based on demand without major capital investment.
Cloud platforms support secure access to data and applications from anywhere.
While still inconsistent in some regions, connectivity improvements have made cloud services more practical than before.

Cloud platforms require specialized skills. Many IT teams lack experience with:
This can lead to inefficient or insecure deployments.
