SINGAPORE, January 25, 2023 – IDC predicts that complexities of digital business and IT budget pressures will drive 60% of Asia-based 1000 organizations (A1000) by 2024 to increase FinOps maturity with granular chargebacks, benchmarking, and multiple cloud optimization. This is just one of IDC’s predictions unveiled in its latest report, IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Cloud 2023 Predictions – APEJ * Implications.
Organizations in the region have accelerated digital transformation (DX) and the adoption of cloud in the past two year. They have adopted various cloud operating models as the core foundation to help them pivot towards a digital-first economy. With strong headwinds on the horizon and recessionary pressures rising, business will seek to derive greater benefits from their cloud deployments beyond typical gains such as IT productivity.
“Asia/Pacific organizations are maturing in their use of cloud, data and new technologies to drive greater efficiencies and deliver on innovation and value creation for the business. These will increase their focus on automation, cloud management, FinOps, sustainability and cost management,” says Daphne Chung, Research Director of Cloud and Software, IDC Asia/Pacific. “There are growing concerns though that are placing greater pressure on budgets which require organizations to ensure the greater alignment and collaboration between IT and business in order to deliver on achieving business goals.”
