IDC PeerScape: Cloud Services Practices from Cloud Transformations

This IDC PeerScape offers advice for IT executives, sourcing executives, and other business executives to employ when procuring cloud services and, specifically, professional and managed services. The lessons learned and practices identified in this study build upon the lessons and practices identified in dozens of IDC PeerScape documents published on similar topics in the past few years. "Cloud has remained top of mind among leaders across Canadian organizations. While organizations have varying levels of cloud adoption, most leaders aspire to significantly enhance cloud maturity over the next three years. IDC advises organizations to consider implementing these practices to successfully drive cloud transformation and extract optimal value from their investments with partners," says Sreenivas Duvvuri, research analyst, Services, at IDC Canada.
