Businesses are increasingly investing in digital
capabilities to drive innovation, keep pace with
competition and improve efficiencies.
As cloud becomes mainstream, customers are
beginning to realise the benefits from multiple
technology investments. Organisations that are
outpacing their peers in IT transformation are investing
primarily in three key technologies – data integration,
cloud and AI. Data integration is table stakes for
deriving maximum value from both cloud and AI. The
three technologies combined multiply innovation for
those organisations undergoing the fastest rates of IT
transformation. Of the three technology investments,
almost half of all spend is for data integration,
including data extraction, ingest and storage.
Non-cloud solutions are becoming a smaller part of
the overall application portfolio. While customers
continue to deploy public cloud infrastructure
and PaaS solutions at a rapid rate, they are also
significantly increasing investments in private cloud
solutions both in their own datacentres and with a
host or managed services provider.
Multi-cloud deployments are now the norm for
enterprise organisations – less than 30% of
customers report using single cloud environments.
Most customers leverage different cloud platforms
across multiple service providers. The interoperability
of data and applications between these varied
cloud environments is growing in importance, yet
access to hybrid cloud capabilities (where a single
application runs across multiple clouds) remains
elusive for most enterprises. Where interoperability
does exist, private cloud (either on-premises or with
a service provider) is typically the on-ramp to public
cloud interoperability. •
