We recently launched the State of the Database Landscape 2024 survey results, with information from almost 4,000 database professionals from around the globe. A clear picture emerged from the results, suggesting that 2024 is the year that skill diversification among database professionals is imperative. There’s the need to manage multiple databases, to migrate to the cloud, to introduce continuous delivery with DevOps, and even incorporating Generative AI into the mix.

Whether it’s an element of digital transformation such as a cloud transformation, or a broader ask from the business such as a new revenue stream creation, IT architects have a big job on their hand with multiple stakeholders to satisfy and teams to align. So how do other architects solve the common problems they encounter when tasked with implementing a major new business initiative? We asked 9 of your fellow IT architects to tell us how they approach the most common challenges.

Are you looking to modernize and migrate your data but have questions about the complex organizational challenges? We recently hosted the webinar: Overcoming Organizational Challenges in Data Modernization and Cloud Migration: A Guide for Senior IT Leaders.
