As a result, (and as IDC has recently pointed out), the market is seeing strong uptake of services supporting public and hybrid cloud environments – “Spending on managed and professional services around cloud adoption are, collectively, the second largest opportunity in the whole cloud market, accounting for 31% of all cloud-related spending in 2016 and 2021.”
To regain control over their cloud assets in 2018, organizations will increasingly look to managed services. The tools and services can provide deep visibility into, and comprehensive reporting on, the performance and utilization of their cloud environment, and can enable them to track and control costs and consumption in real-time.
As the adoption of cloud services within enterprises continues to increase, (with a predicted CAGR of 18% by 2021), CIOs can get ahead of the curve by investing today in systems and processes that will allow them to make the best-possible use of their cloud spend in the future.
