Even before the pandemic forced companies across the globe to re-evaluate their technology, most were already aware of the value of moving to the cloud — and many had started or completed the process.
Now that we’ve all transitioned to a digital-first mindset, cloud migration is an even more important priority across industries and sectors. This interest brings with it an awareness of the questions associated with moving to the cloud, such as deciding between full or partial migration, which platform to use, and selecting either lift-and-shift or cloud-native.
For many companies, these uncertainties are compounded by knowledge gaps in comprehensive planning and development, implementation, and post-migration processes. Our Tecknoworks team was particularly interested in how all these factors are affecting companies today, and where they are in their own plans to shift to the cloud.
To find out, we conducted a survey of over 150 executives to determine their company’s current cloud status and future plans.
