As a Research Director in the @IDC Cloud and Infrastructure org, I spend my time deeply analyzing public, private, hybrid, neo, and multicloud capabilities and trends for the benefit of our customers.
One of the most impactful things I do is run our Cloud Pulse survey. This quarterly survey is global in scope reaching 1,600 ICT cloud buyers and decision makers across Europe, the Middle East, North America, Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.
Taking the pulse of the cloud market via a frequent quarterly cadence, it delivers the voice of the customer including their current and future cloud investments and adoption rates. It drills deeply into cloud workloads, AI innovations, cloud vendor perception, cloud economics and ROI, as well as resiliency and security.
I talk to the executives and CEOs of all the cloud players from hyperscalers to neocloud startups to form a comprehensive view of the market.
Subscribers to the Cloud Pulse survey get a quarterly spreadsheet of data with global and regional insights, an executive summary PowerPoint presentation, a readout to help make sense of all the data, and unlimited access to me for inquiries.
Needless to say, the results of the Cloud Pulse survey are used to drive the roadmaps of the most customer obsessed cloud and tech companies in world.
