The coming IT consulting battle: Who will win and who will lose among hyperscaler, India-centric and tech-led IT services players?

Inflation, recession and uncertainty: 3 key drivers of cloud economics

Inflation, recession and uncertainty are driving cloud economics, but what does that mean for pricing, talent and vendor performance?

 

Cloud opportunity has grown despite, or possibly because of, recent global disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the current concoction of macroeconomic disruption — inflation, the war in Ukraine, the looming threat of a global recession — is testing this resilience and growth is starting to slow.

 

Join Practice Manager Allan Krans, Senior Analyst Evan Woollacott and Senior Analyst Catie Merrill Thursday, Sept. 22, 2022, for a closer look at how cloud vendors are reacting to the current environment, as well as the threats and challenges we believe they’ll face in the near future.

 

In this FREE webinar you’ll learn:

  • How the threat of a recession impacts cloud spending and leading vendor performance
  • How inflation will impact cloud pricing and profitability
  • How the war for talent impacts cloud vendors and their ecosystems of services and ISV partners

Benchmarking alliance performance through objective data metrics

 

Benchmarking alliance performance in the technology sector requires disruption. Legacy partner program metrics are misaligned to the way end customers seek to procure technology solutions. The disruption stems from multiparty alliances where current benchmark metrics lean toward the sponsoring alliance partner rather than toward the ecosystem or the end customer.

 

Discussion Points

  • Objective data each type of ecosystem participant — platform vendor, hyperscaler, systems integrator, large enterprise software vendor and small independent software vendor — should benchmark
  • Objective data metrics emerging to monitor ecosystem performance
  • How these measurements, in the form of contractual commitments, need to be simplified to suit the ecosystem rather than the participant’s operating model
