Cloud Professional Services Market Dynamics
Driver: Accelerated adoption of public cloud services
Cloud plays an integral role in helping enterprises to sustain despite lockdown scenarios and IT infrastructure inconsistencies, enabling them to innovate faster thereby enhancing speed to market, agility, and responsiveness. In addition, there is an increased openness to adopt hybrid and public cloud models with 68% of the small enterprises preferring public cloud owing to its cost advantages. Another survey conducted by ESG, 59% of organizations indicated spending on public cloud applications would increase in 2023, while 56% reported public cloud infrastructure services spending would go up in 2023.
Restraint: Lack of knowledge and expertise to impact the utilization of cloud professional services among enterprises
Due to the complex nature and the high demand for research, working with the cloud often ends up being a highly tedious task. It requires immense knowledge and wide expertise on the subject. As per the PwC CEO Survey 2020, 77% of CEOs were concerned about the availability of a skilled workforce. The survey also found that those organizations that focused on expanding their employees’ skills were ahead of their peers in many ways and were more confident in their future. Therefore, there is a need for upskilling so that these professionals can easily manage cloud-based applications with a smaller number of issues and ensure enhanced performance and reliability.
Opportunity: Implementation of AI and ML technologies with cloud platforms
Artificial intelligence and machine learning technology are increasingly adopted in various enterprises across the globe. As businesses are focusing on strengthening their digital infrastructure to support remote employees and ensure proper functioning amid the pandemic, many organizations started to believe that AI and ML based cloud applications has potential for supporting large scale data analytics, data insights, and automation of manual tasks. As per the Voice of the Enterprise: AI & Machine Learning Use Cases 2021 study, 95% of organizations stated AI as an important aspect of achieving digital transformation. The AI adoption rate is maximum for enterprises such as communication, over-the-top (OTT) and gaming, technology, and financial services as these organizations focus on improving customer experiences through innovation and automation.
Challenge: Operational challenges with the utilization of multiple clouds
Due to an increase in the options available to the companies, enterprises not only use a single cloud but depend on multiple cloud service providers. Most of these companies use hybrid cloud tactics and close to 84% are dependent on multi-cloud environments. This often ends up being hindered and difficult to manage for the infrastructure team. The process most of the time ends up being highly complex for the IT team due to the differences between multiple cloud providers.
