IBM study reveals companies aren’t prepare to meet future IT needs
According to IBM, about a quarter of companies are just starting their modernization journey, or haven’t started yet. And of those that responded to the survey, 60% said their IT modernization program is not ready for the future.
To make up for this lack of preparedness, many may have to turn to managed service providers (MSPs) to fill in the gaps. About 80% of companies surveyed indicated that they will more heavily rely on MSPs that can provide managed infrastructure services.
“Our clients are looking to accelerate IT modernization by leveraging cloud models – both public and hybrid, data, AI, automation and other key technologies to help shape, scale and manage more effectively massive, complex, global architectures,” said Archana Vemulapalli, general manager of IBM Infrastructure Services – Offerings and CTO. “In this rapidly changing digital business environment, organizations can bring in the right technology and the right partners to help aggregate, integrate, build and maintain a scalable digital business, while also enforcing effective governance.”
