The State of Cloud Adoption 2022 – A survey-based research study by IDG Research and Tavant
Tavant, in collaboration with IDG Research, conducted a comprehensive research study among 255 large enterprises’ CIOs, CTOs, and Senior VPs to identify cloud adoption trends. The study’s goal was to understand the cloud computing landscape in the United States across a wide range of industries. Automotive, discrete manufacturing, e-commerce, financial services, food and beverage, healthcare, process manufacturing, retail and wholesale, and travel were among the industries represented.
Hurdles to Cloud Deployment Being Leap-Frogged
Tavant and IDG Research found that businesses are increasingly embracing cloud tools, industry frameworks, and infrastructure automation tools to improve time to market and ROI. Security, legacy migration, cloud governance, and infrastructure maintenance are all common concerns that are now being addressed through improved practices such as outcome-based shared services models and industry-specific cloud-based solutions. Development, security, and operations processes (DevSecOps), which work with cloud tools, are becoming increasingly important in the development and management of cloud applications.
The top cloud adoption barriers are security (52%), legacy IT infrastructure (29%), insufficient budget (28%), regulatory concerns (27%), and uncertainty about cloud benefits (27%). (23 percent ).
Business agility is a key motivator for 93 percent of US organizations polled to adopt the public cloud. The secondary reasons are increasing revenue through innovation (81%) and lowering costs (8%). (77 percent ).
Currently, 43 percent of respondents have a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud strategy in place.
Nearly 40% of organizations use DevSecOps extensively across their entire technology footprint, while 37% use DevSecOps for specific programs.
