You probably already know that cloud migration continues to be a huge priority for organizations across the globe. But what may surprise you is all the ways priorities, projects, and outcomes have changed in the last few years. For example, in 2020, the thing that was most top of mind was identifying the best-fit workloads to run in the public cloud. But what about now?
To answer that question (and more) we’re hosting a free ‘fireside chat’ on January 31st at 9:00AM PST where our guest Bill Martorelli, Principal Analyst at Forrester, and Priyanka Vergadia, Staff Developer Advocate at Google Cloud will do a deeper dive on the findings of our “State of Public Cloud Migration” study for 2022.
During the chat, Bill and Priyanka will discuss key findings from this Google-commissioned Forrester Consulting study, which includes insights from 300+ decision makers and answers questions like:
- Why are more global organizations accelerating their cloud migrations?
- What factors do global organizations prioritize when selecting cloud vendors?
- What are the IT and business benefits that global organizations gain after migration?
For instance, circling back to our original example, it turns out that identifying best-fit workloads to run in the public cloud is not the top priority anymore. In fact, many organizations have already moved past that phase of their migrations, with their top priorities now focusing on post-migration performance and cost optimization strategies.
It’s sure to be a great time, and a fantastic way to kick off your new year, especially if cloud migration is one of your New Year’s resolutions. Hope to see you there!
