IDC’s new report reveals that the CEO’s of a range of European organisations are being incentivised to generate at least 40% of their revenues from digital by 2025. That’s clear evidence of the priority shift from whether to move to cloud, to how best make the move and get the best value from their investment. And IDC outlines six important (and practical) steps any organisation needs to take to succeed in their digital-first strategy.
The C-suite is increasingly focused on implementing critical KPI’s which are tied directly to data availability, recovery, and stewardship to ensure that their organisations are resilient. That’s especially important at a time of rising cyber-attacks (criminal and geopolitical) across the world. Taking the correct steps to ensure your cloud migration succeeds and matches your strategic priorities is vital.

“Cloud is the de facto building block for digital innovation.” That’s a key finding in IDC’s extensive research. It’s central to building competitive edge in a fast-moving environment. But business leaders need to change their cloud mind-set. Forward thinking organisations across EMEA are migrating strategically and managing their hybrid cloud environment holistically. That’s yielding results: IDC found that those who did so were more resilient than their competitors who did not during 2020.
