IDC European Infobrief: Cloud at Your Pace: Linking Business Strategy with Cloud Strategy

Digital transformation was critical to European organizations in 2020 in response to the global pandemic. What lessons were learned, and how do they translate to 2021 IT strategic plans and cloud strategy?

A recent infobrief by marketing intelligence leader IDC reveals results of its European IT Buyer Sentiment Survey, including: organizations’ top goals for 2021-2022, where enterprises are in the pandemic recovery stages, and the metrics used to build a business case for ERP modernization.

IDC’s infobrief includes valuable insights and recommendations for CIOs across the globe as they align business strategy with cloud strategy, specifically:

  • Avoiding the digital ROI gap
  • CEO priorities across the pandemic recovery stages
  • An IT project prioritization framework for 2021
  • How a hybrid IT strategic plan supports the digital transformation journey
  • Recommendations for ERP innovation

The infobrief also highlights the success of Swedish eco-friendly transportation leader Green Cargo in balancing ERP modernization and sustainable innovation on a tight budget by following a Business-Driven IT Roadmap.

Global Enterprises Drive Innovation with Hybrid IT Strategy

Cloud is a dominant force in enterprise software today. Moving data and workloads to cloud-based environments can drive competitive advantage, particularly by helping enterprises meet changing customer demands and enable new processes. Despite their popularity, cloud systems may not be the optimal strategic solution for entire IT landscapes. In many cases, internally deployed, customized ERP systems are robust and highly-functional, and there is no business case to move them to the cloud. Creating a hybrid IT strategy then becomes a smart path to optimizing IT budgets, choosing best-of-breed SaaS solutions, and accelerating digital transformation. To help fund these hybrid IT solutions, many organizations are switching from software vendor support to independent, third-party support, saving up to 90% on total maintenance costs and redirecting scarce IT budget dollars to innovation. In this informative e-book, you’ll meet five Rimini Street clients that are executing a hybrid IT strategy facilitated by third-party support, reallocating savings to initiatives such as: Low-code application development New marketing programs Rollout of electronic data interchange (EDI) for e-commerce Development of a cloud-based information technology service management (ITSM) application Freeing up IT staff for new projects Find out more about the benefits of third-party support for hybrid IT solutions. Read this new eBook.
