Today many enterprises are adopting a cloud-first strategy to get faster time to value and scale their business. As expansion to the cloud continues, IT leaders are continuously looking for better ways to strengthen security and focus more on driving business value.
Register for our Get Resiliency in the Cloud event, taking place January 18th, 2024 from 8:30 - 11:30 AM PST, to hear directly from IDC and Pacific Dental Services share benefits and best practices for migrating to cloud.
Migrating on-premises deployments to Splunk Cloud Platform delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offers a win-win for enterprises. In this white paper, IDC examines the drivers and benefits of moving to the cloud across three current Splunk customers who migrated to Splunk Cloud Platform and saw immediate benefits:
By moving to Splunk Cloud Platform, these organizations were able to free IT operations and security teams from the daily maintenance of on-premises solutions, reduced administrative overhead costs, streamlined upgrade cycles, improved cross-team collaboration, and enabled businesses to provide new offerings to their customers quickly. As a bonus, they have been able to take advantage of new features and versions quickly and with less risk.
As more and more firms see flat or negative budgets in the coming year, the need for more efficient operations and quicker time to value means that the growth of cloud and SaaS solutions is likely to rapidly continue. As enterprises migrate new deployments to the cloud, proper planning, understanding the migration process, and managing the impact across people and technologies is essential.
Besides reporting the customer benefits of migrating to cloud, IDC provides a comprehensive blueprint on the best practices and recommendations for completing a successful migration to the cloud, delivered as a SaaS solution. This blueprint includes considerations such as leadership buy-in, extensive up-front planning, thorough understanding of the on-premises environment, available tools, services and resources from the vendor before migration. It recommends several pieces of advice for IT leaders and teams moving to the cloud regardless of the target SaaS provider.
