From SaaS to PaaS, on-premises to the public cloud, containers to Kubernetes, we’re living in a hybrid, multi-cloud world. With a realistic roadmap that ties IT strategy to business outcomes, and identifies the people, processes, and technologies required at each stage of the hybrid cloud journey. CIOs who have begun their cloud journeys can confidently assess what they have achieved and move toward a more seamless multi-cloud operating model based on the business goals they are trying to accomplish.

Executive Summary


The impact of the cloud on both the business and IT is undeniable. As part of a broader enterprise digital strategy that embraces data center and application modernization, the cloud has become a key driver of business expansion and operational efficiency. It enables the agile development of new products and services allowing companies to build competitive differentiation. Yet business and IT leaders who have made moves to embrace the cloud may feel stuck, and struggle to understand how to truly transform their organizations into fully cloud-driven and cloud-optimized enterprises.

In this paper, we present a CIO roadmap to hybrid and multi-cloud, giving CIOs a benchmark they can use to measure their cloud aspirations against organizational realities. This roadmap offers a personalized, actionable approach to hybrid cloud adoption that supports current and future-facing business and IT objectives.

The Market Opportunity


Today’s CIO is an architect of new business models, leveraging technology to break into new markets, improve the customer experience, drive down costs, and create new sources of revenue.

This evolution is happening within a reality in which any industry or company can be disrupted by an innovative startup or competitor using applications to provide superior customer experience at scale. The cloud is becoming the standard approach to building and delivering applications for the modern enterprise. This is bolstered by the recognition of the value of applications to the business. Another critical factor is the need to match each application to the environment that provides the best resources and support. Increasingly, those environments are located outside of capital-intensive, on-premises data centers.
