I’d argue it has boosted productivity through speed to implement solutions. Has it contributed to economic resilience against recession? I don’t believe it has.

Cloud adoption has indeed played a significant role in boosting productivity and contributing to economic resilience against recession.Cloud allows businesses to access computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, eliminating the need for significant upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure
Cloud offers scalability, allowing businesses to easily scale their computing resources up or down based on demand
Cloud based collaboration tools, communication platforms, and virtual desktop solutions facilitated remote work arrangements, allowing businesses to maintain productivity even when employees couldn't be physically present in the office
Cloud computing provides access to a wide array of tools and services, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms
Cloud offers robust business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities, reducing the risk of data loss and downtime during emergencies.

Cloud adoption will surely increase production, as well as agility towards delivering. But it won't be a saving tool, since it is in nature not to be.Director of IT in Healthcare and Biotech6 months ago
I'll echo that it's not a savings tool inherently, but it does shift the talent away from managing lower level infrastructure. This does reduce their workload allowing them to focus on solving business problems. If you redrew the lines on productivity, and included InfraOps for business deliverables (more strongly that you probably do today), then it is definitely a productivity booster.
