Most cloud transformations are stuck in the middle

The landscape of enterprise technology continues to evolve rapidly, with cloud transformation as a primary investment, according to HFS and IBM Consulting.
Most organizations have not yet experienced tangible business value from these efforts.
Findings show that despite cloud transformation ranking among the top three critical investments for 60% of enterprises, only 1 in 4 can demonstrate a hard return on investment from their initiatives.
Cloud transformation is increasingly funded by non-IT stakeholders.

In enterprises that left cloud transformation to IT, it was left out of the business discourse entirely.
Cloud transformation is increasingly funded by non-IT stakeholders, emphasizing its place as a broader enterprise transformation rather than solely an IT endeavor.
Only 32% of cloud initiatives are funded by IT stakeholders, challenging the perception of cloud transformation solely as an IT-centric journey.

Less than a third meet budget and timeline expectations, indicating a significant disconnect between cloud discussions and clear business objectives.
Nearly 95% expressed some regrets over their hyperscaler contract.
Only 25% of enterprises can showcase a solid ROI on business benefits from cloud transformation, relying on soft or deferred ROI to justify their cases.

That philosophy opens the door for business and IT collaboration.
