The need to modernize enterprise applications is becoming a mandate for all organizations to better meet the growing demands of end-users. Whether that means moving some (or all) applications to the cloud or adopting new technologies to be more data-driven, organizations are looking for the best ways to become more agile, scalable, and resilient, while retaining complete control of their data. And they want to be able to do all of this while remaining vendor-agnostic at an infrastructure or service-provider level to not only avoid vendor lock-in, but to achieve agility as a core requirement. Organizations require all of the above to help them deliver a predictable experience to their end-users based on their dynamically adjusting needs regardless of where that data resides or with whom it’s residing.
