According to IDC Asia/Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) cloud survey and Future Enterprise Resiliency & Spending Survey (2022), organisations are slowly considering the next advancement of cloud adoption in terms of technology and services to reap benefits beyond cost reduction and IT productivity.
“With the multi-cloud environment becoming more manageable, organisations are loving the openness towards having workload portability and getting the best out of their cloud strategy without worrying about challenges of complexities, vendor lock-in, data privacy or governance,” says Shahnawas Latiff, research manager at IDC Asia/Pacific.
Organisations in Asia/Pacific are experiencing a transformation from a technology and services implementation point and are advancing their investment considering the future innovation needs. Cloud and cloud service capabilities are imminent investments that enable organisations to differentiate themselves and give them a competitive edge.
Ecosystem partners and professional service providers offer specialized capabilities to cloud service providers, who are otherwise getting commoditized with their bare minimum solutions or service.
Findings and spending guide from the IDC report, Market Analysis Perspective: Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Public Cloud Services, 2021, indicates different levels of cloud maturity in terms of the country's adoption, investments, capabilities and expected business outcomes. Though many organisations have a multi-cloud strategy, they are not using the full capability of those cloud investments.
This is now starting to change with messaging and service support around data privacy, security, governance, complexity, skill availability and workload portability between the different clouds.
