BetaNews highlighted the shift to off-premise data centers and cited INAP SVP of Global Cloud Services Jennifer Curry’s thoughts on the results:
“The role of the IT professional is changing, and for the second consecutive year, they are making it known that they want to lead digital transformation initiatives.”
“The results show IT professionals would much rather spend their time assessing their systems for outsourcing (cloud readiness) or designing complex multi-service environments rather than performing routine tasks which can be easily outsourced, such as monitoring their infrastructure. These activities would have a larger business impact and add more value to their organization, so IT leaders should use this as a wake-up call and figure out how to adjust their strategies accordingly.”
