Today’s organizations are choosing to be driven by data and their digital transformation is happening on the cloud. In a recent report, Gartner predicts that Public Cloud revenue will grow 17.3 percent in 2019, as the simplicity and flexibility offered to business operations will result in significant growth in its adoption. Gartner also says that the cloud market is projected to reach a staggering $206 billion in 2019, from $175 billion in 2018 and $145 billion in 2017. Let’s look at some of the top cloud trends in IT services to watch out for, in 2019.
We are referring to Cloud Advisory Services, Salesforce Cloud services, Amazon Web Services and services for Microsoft Azure, and let’s discuss each of them in detail and see how they support businesses as they move from on-premise to the cloud.
Cloud Advisory Services:
Business and IT are moving to the cloud and disrupting the way business is done. As data, infrastructure and applications move to the cloud, it’s an essential requirement for enterprises to have the right IT partner to enable them connect through all the layers and derive the maximum benefit from their migration to the cloud. Such migration benefits most from knowing which applications and services would benefit from migration to the cloud and which ones are better suited to be on-premise. Businesses need to find a partner who is capable of identifying suitable opportunities to leverage cloud computing requirements, while ensuring sustainable business benefits. The partner will need to successfully transform your processes, technologies and capabilities using an implementation plan for the whole enterprise, not forgetting to match costs with benefits.
Salesforce Cloud:
This cloud-based SaaS application offers on-demand applications to companies to run their sales, customer service and marketing processes. Transform your business strategy and operations with Salesforce implementation to create customer value, free up critical resources, and enhance employee experience. With the right technology partner to handle the implementation, you can avoid issues which result from the migration in data cleaning, integration management, product consultation and cloud administration. Customize reports and dashboards in such a way that you are up-to-date with all aspects of the implementation. Eliminate risks with technical debt, save money and free up critical resources to take care of other important tasks, by choosing the right consultants to manage your implementation for you. Businesses need technology to help them stay innovative and future-ready, and to be successful in a dynamically changing environment.
Amazon Web Services:
AWS offers businesses the ability to command computing power, storage and other services in a development or programming model, as per their needs. But, moving one’s processes and operations to the cloud requires a business to prepare for change and manage a complex set of interdependencies between the services, without outages. When moving to the Amazon Web Services, one must focus on gaining real time visibility into the environment and deriving actionable insights which enable them to deal with any issues as and when they emerge. Find an implementation partner who can monitor and visualize your entire stack from infrastructure and platform to services and applications, can capture AWS metadata for all your services, to provide insights while eliminating noise and false positives.
Microsoft Azure:
Microsoft Azure is a powerful and flexible cloud-based solution which can effectively integrate across platforms in and around the world, offering business services which offer the scalability and security needed by businesses to succeed. Businesses which turn to the cloud are being distracted from their core business operations. That’s because adopting Microsoft’s commercial cloud rollup mandates the need to master the different aspects of managing it, requiring Azure expertise in handling architecture design, security and operations. To succeed in porting to Azure, in a reliable and cost-effective manner, one will need the help of Azure experts who can deploy and manage the technology and automation, helping to secure your cloud investment.
With the unprecedented growth of cloud adoption, organization will have to manage more applications as well as data in the cloud, ensuring security and data backup. Success lies in learning to automate many of the processes, simplifying cloud administrators’ jobs while saving costs and time.
