As companies recognize the high stakes of a cloud migration and the inherent complexity of these initiatives, they are demanding more services and support from their cloud service and platform providers to successfully migrate business-critical data and workloads to the cloud, the study reveals.

Next Pathway polled nearly 1,000 IT professionals and decision makers on their company's status in the cloud migration journey, challenges to the initiative, benefits to migrating and perceptions regarding individual cloud service and platform providers.

While companies recognize the need to migrate to the cloud, most acknowledge that they do not have the internal staff, tooling and experience to plan and execute a successful cloud migration.

Along with the lack of internal tools, companies are concerned that they won't have the right automated tooling - either to expedite translation and migration of code from on-prem to cloud or to expedite translation and migration of ETLs to the cloud.

To realize the full potential of the cloud, companies are seeking more value from their cloud platform and cloud service providers.

Companies overwhelmingly prefer a hybrid cloud strategy and agree that the trend is toward more collaborative support between different cloud providers to offer a robust multi-cloud offering.
