Worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.4% to total $678.8 billion in 2024, up from $563.6 billion in 2023. Cloud has become essentially indispensable. However, that doesn’t mean cloud innovation can stop or even slow. The tables are turning for cloud providers as cloud models no longer drive business outcomes, but rather, business outcomes shape cloud models. For example, organizations deploying GenAI services will look to the public cloud, given the scale of the infrastructure required.

The Internet-of-Things is leaving an indelible mark on the economy because it opens entirely new ways for products and services—at both consumer and industrial levels—to interact with individuals, the cloud environment, and potentially thousands of applications.

As organizations continue to embrace and integrate a growing array of cloud-computing elements into their enterprise infrastructures, the ensuing sprawl is creating integration, security, and data management challenges that are threatening to hamper progress toward strategic transformation objectives, according to Chris Rosen, a program director with IBM during a recent podcast interview with BizTechReports.

Digital transformation (DX) is one of the trends shaping the enterprise world and driving the investments organizations are making to modernize their IT infrastructures and processes. Migration to service-based IT is one of the significant elements of DX initiatives as it enables organizations to utilize IT more efficiently for achieving business goals, pursuing new opportunities, and enhancing customer experience.

Businesses that leverage mainframe investments while developing a modernization roadmap have better outcomes than those that move off them. These were the conclusions of a 2021 IDC study that analyzed businesses across the globe to measure the efficacy of migrating to the cloud compared to modernizing existing mainframe systems. Replatforming, the researchers found, can be riskier and more costly than modernizing existing investments.

While the emergence of internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and next generation cloud computing technologies are creating new opportunities to capture deep insights into the driving and vehicle ownership experience, the automotive industry must take care to ensure consumers have a high level of comfort and trust in Voice of the Vehicle (VOV) initiatives, says Dave Sargent, Vice President of Global Automotive for J.D. Power, in an interview prepared for the upcoming J.D. Power Auto Revolution event in Las Vegas on October 23-24.

The worldwide public cloud services market grew 28.6 percent year over year in the first half of 2017 (1H17) with revenues totaling $63.2 billion, according to new results from the International Data Corporation.
