And even if the number fluctuates by a few
points this year, organizations everywhere are learning
that multi-cloud is indispensable — and with good reason.
At a high level, many organizations have such diverse
application requirements and data needs that spreading
them across multiple cloud platforms just makes
good business sense. Each platform brings different
capabilities to the table, and diversifying services can
help organizations better meet their targeted objectives,
whether it's reducing costs, tightening security, or
improving application and systems performance.
Yet, increasingly, companies are finding that
managing the various and rapidly changing
elements of their IT environment is becoming
more time- and resource-intensive. In many
instances, it's beyond the capabilities — or
availability — of their internal teams and they
need assistance.
