Overcoming the hesitation of senior executives when moving to cloud
As enterprises move to the next stage of cloud adoption, including the migration of mission-critical workloads, 83% of top executives are prepared to invest in next-generation cloud technology.1 But despite available budgets for this phase, two-thirds of senior executives are skeptical about the ability of their enterprises to successfully move to the cloud.
Some enterprises have used a formal cloud architecture design to help decrease senior executive skepticism. A formal cloud architecture design is a blueprint of the different components and subcomponents needed by an organization for cloud computing. It includes a roadmap that outlines the relationships between the components and subcomponents, and provides the required steps to reach the desired state and achieve business objectives.
In late 2019, IBM surveyed over 200 senior IT executives to better understand whether a formalized cloud architecture design had made them more successful in their move to cloud and helped alleviate skepticism. This paper highlights key findings from the survey.
Of those interviewed, 95% agreed that a cloud architecture design helps improve the success of an organization’s journey to the cloud, and 90% stated they had the right plan in place to maximize business value.
