A new era of business innovation
The FOMC consensus is that those delaying
multi-cloud adoption will become increasingly
irrelevant. New levels of service specialisation
will increasingly allow enterprises to find the
best tools for their specific needs, enabling
seamless scaling and rapid service delivery
innovations. Technologies set to drive this
transition include serverless architectures,
as well as Artificial Intelligence-powered
orchestration layers and configuration tools
to aid data-driven decision making. Fear of
vendor lock-in is expected to continue as a
key justification for multi-cloud investments.
“The multi-cloud ramp-up is one of the
ultimate wake-up calls in internal IT to get
their act together,” said Eric Marks, VP of
Cloud Consulting at CloudSpectator and
a FOMC contributor. “One of the biggest
transformative changes is the realisation
of what a high-performing IT organisation
is and how it compares to what they have.
Most are finding their IT organisations are
sadly underperforming.”
The FOMC consensus
is that those delaying
multi-cloud
adoption will become
increasingly irrelevant.
