Achieving Optimum Value from Application and Cloud Investments

The last almost two years have been incredibly complex and challenging for enterprise organizations around the world. New operating models, the rapid expansion of a remote workforce and the global disruption of the supply chain have organizations rethinking operating models. 

In response, enterprise IT organizations have rapidly deployed new technologies and accelerated digital transformation plans but many questions remain: How are organizations dealing with increasingly complex technology deployments? How have they adjusted or adapted their cloud migration plans? What type of cloud architectures are prioritized in this operational environment? Can the public cloud and pure play providers — the hyperscalers of the world — meet the current and emerging needs of enterprises today?

In mid-2021, we partnered with IBM on a study involving business, technology, and security professionals with a high level of influence and decision-making authority, responsible for planning, implementing, or overseeing their organization’s cloud, storage, compute, and application modernization programs. We wanted to know how these disruptions have impacted organizations and what changes have been made as a result. Achieving Optimum Value from Application and Cloud Investments details our findings.

In this report you’ll learn: 

  • The need for cloud application evolution
  • Why Hybrid cloud architecture is key for growth
  • What challenges and barriers are ahead for organizations
  • How to optimize cloud management for the future
  • Key takeaways from our survey that can help organizations decide what to do next

If you’re responsible for planning, implementing, or overseeing your organization’s cloud, storage, compute, and application modernization programs, this report and its companion Driving Business Value Through App Modernization, need to be on your ‘must read’ list.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
