• IT Decision Makers (ITDM's) geven aan dat as-a-Service (aaS) zeer belangrijk zal zijn voor de toekomst van hun bedrijf (58%), het concurrentievermogen (55%) en de groei (53%)
• 66% van de ITDM’s zegt dat de dataoverdracht naar de publieke cloud momenteel stilligt en 77% zegt dat data is vastgelopen tussen publieke en private clouds

Bijna negen op de tien (87%) van de IT Decision Makers (ITDM's) meldt dat zijn organisatie al as-a-Service (aaS) oplossingen heeft geïmplementeerd, of hiermee van start is gegaan. Zeven op de tien (71%) van de ITDM's maakt zich zorgen over het bijbenen van het veranderende aaS-landschap, volgens het HPE “2019 As-a-Service: Driving Change Report”.

New Multi-National Survey: 86 percent of IT leaders embrace adoption of as-a-Service, yet technical and talent challenges lie ahead

• IT Decision Makers (ITDMs) say as-a-Service (aaS) will be very important for their company’s future (58%), competitiveness (55%) and growth (53%)
• 66% of ITDMs say data migration to public cloud is currently stalled and 77% say data is siloed between public and private clouds  
• Almost two-thirds (60%) of ITDMs 22-34 years-old are concerned that aaS adoption will make their current role obsolete

Nearly nine-in-ten (87%) IT decision makers (ITDMs) report that their organizations have started to implement as-a-Service (aaS) solutions or have already completed the process, yet seven in ten (71%) ITDMs are concerned about keeping up with the changing aaS landscape, according to the HPE “2019 As-a-Service: Driving Change Report”. The report, introduced today, surveyed over 1,000 ITDMs at companies of all sizes (from 50 employees to 10,000+) across the U.S., Germany and the UK to explore the future opportunities and impact of aaS consumption models.

“Businesses of all sizes are embracing as-a-Service models to unlock innovation and agility and lead disruption rather than become a victim of it,” said Phil Davis, President of Hybrid IT for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “As-a-Service elevates the role of IT decision makers, allowing them to become true service brokers who focus on strategic initiatives and revenue growth. As this survey data shows, the market clearly views as-a-Service as the future but are looking for a new and better approach to realize a consistent cloud experience, across public, private and the edge.”

“The 2019 As-a-Service: Driving Change Report” Top Findings include:

Adoption of aaS is on the rise across organizations: Nearly nine-in-ten (87%) ITDMs report that their organizations have started to implement aaS solutions or have already completed the process. Furthermore, three-quarters (75%) of all ITDMs surveyed expect their organization to move toward full adoption of aaS solutions in less than five years.

aaS is critical to keep up with the competitive landscape and remain strategic: Executives recognize the critical need to modernize IT to support future business growth and competitive advantage. aaS solutions will be very important for their company’s future (58%), competitiveness (55%) and growth (53%).

IT Challenges: data remains siloed within organizations: Three quarters of ITDMs agree that at their organization, data is siloed between public and private clouds (77%) and admit that data silos are a key challenge (75%) for their businesses. About two-thirds (66%) state they agree that data migration to the public cloud is currently stalled at their organization.

A generational divide - younger ITDMs are more fearful that their jobs will become obsolete due to aaS: The survey findings show only about a quarter of ITDMs 55 and older (23%) are concerned that aaS adoption is making their job obsolete, compared to almost two-thirds (60%) of 22-34-year-olds. For both age groups, many (67%) ITDMs are concerned about new generations of digital natives having an advantage over their experience as it relates to aaS adoption.

Career Driver - aaS enables career growth and opportunity for IT professionals: Despite the changes ahead and apprehension from younger ITDMs, about nine-in-ten (87%) of all respondents agree that aaS adoption will advance their career and envision a shift in their roles from day-to-day IT support toward more of a business strategist role. Globally, seven-in-ten ITDMs say aaS adoption will make their role within their organization more important (72%) and give them more control over data (70%) and budget (71%).
