The survey found that there is a higher focus on migrating applications to the cloud than on efforts such as rolling out continuous integration and deployment and containers and container orchestration.

Silos: Nearly half of companies report that their infrastructure can't keep up with app development needs, in part because of silos between applications and infrastructure teams.

There are four pillars to a successful modern applications strategy: cloud native applications, cloud native platforms, continuous integration / continuous delivery pipelines and adoption of DevOps culture and practices.

Overarching strategy: 25% of enterprises don't have an overarching strategy for modernizing applications.

Cloud center of excellence: Of organizations that say infrastructure satisfied or exceeds the demands of the applications function, 78% have Cloud Centers of Excellence and 84% have an overarching strategy guiding public cloud adoption, often facilitated by the CCoE. "Today's enterprises are bogged down with complex legacy software, with software developers spending nights and weekends wrestling outdated IT infrastructure," said Tom Pohlmann, executive vice president of customer success at AHEAD. "A move to cloud native apps and platforms, as well as adoption of DevOps practices, present the best opportunity to keep pace with agile, cloud-born competitors."
