Still a lot of stuff on-premises, and people want to move it to public cloud:
‘More than 80 percent of respondents have more than 100 applications under their purview, and a solid majority have a good deal still managed on-premises. The survey finds 74 percent stating at least half of these applications are on-premises. Another 71 percent of respondents see many of their on-premises applications as mission-critical to their business.’
How they’re moving apps:
‘Yet, the report’s authors state, “enterprises are choosing the path of most resistance, unintentionally creating a self-induced cloud skills gap.” That consists of cloud migration strategies that require the highest degree of IT skills – 49 percent cited refactoring or rewriting applications as their primary modernization strategy.
‘One in five, 20 percent, say they are rewriting core applications from scratch using cloud-native PaaS services. Another 28 percent are refactoring applications for the cloud using cloud-natuive and traditional applications. Another 20 percent are outright replacing applications with SaaS-based applications. About 12 percent are taking a “lift-and-shift” approach to simply move entire applications to hosted services.’
