It is a complex process that can take months or even years, but a recent survey shows that the effort begins to deliver measurable results almost as soon as an organization executes the first steps on its roadmap.In The State of IT Modernization 2020, an IDG Research Services survey of 200 IT executives commissioned last December by Insight Enterprises’ Cloud + Data Center Transformation team, respondents that had completed 25% or less of their initial modernization objectives reported achieving business improvements in each of the eight categories measured.

Forty-one percent of survey respondents reported having delayed or abandoned some of their 2019 IT modernization initiatives.

Most of the causes can be traced to inadequate due diligence, governance or cloud optimization efforts, often due to a lack of in-house expertise in these areas.
