Enterprise technology’s next chapter: Four gen AI shifts that will reshape business technology
How tech leaders organize and manage teams, talent, IT architecture, and costs may dramatically shift in the next decade as a result of generative AI. Here’s what to consider. Companies often overestimate the impact of short-term changes in technology and underestimate the effect of long-term changes. This well-known dynamic is particularly relevant for generative AI (gen AI) in enterprise technology.
How GenAI Helps Companies Harness Cloud Value
Cloud could generate about $3 trillion in earnings by 2030; $1.1 trillion in the United States alone. Almost all industries can find 20% to 30% in value through cost reduction, productivity improvement, and new business models. But turning that potential into bottom-line performance has proved challenging. Enter generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).
Getting ahead in the cloud
There is $3 trillion worth of business value at stake for companies that successfully use cloud technology—yet many are still in a fog. Here’s a clear path toward cloud adoption. We’ve all heard lots about cloud technology, but, according to new McKinsey research, only 20 to 30 percent of industries are using it regularly and at scale.
In search of cloud value: Can generative AI transform cloud ROI?
New ROI analysis highlights what it takes to capture the value of cloud computing, and what role generative AI can play. Established companies face a quandary as they look to exploit cloud: as attractive as the benefits may be, the scale of change and investments required to adopt cloud platforms make generating an attractive return on investment (ROI) a challenge. But generative AI may significantly shift that value equation.
Projecting the global value of cloud: $3 trillion is up for grabs for companies that go beyond adoption
Large enterprises are getting serious about adopting cloud. They aspire to have roughly 60 percent of their environment in the cloud by 2025. Given the scale of this aspiration, business and technology executives are asking themselves: How big is the value at stake in my industry? How quickly will value be captured, and who will capture it? What can I do to make sure my company captures more than its fair share of the value?
Projecting the global value of cloud: $3 trillion is up for grabs for companies that go beyond adoption
New research reveals where value in the cloud lies—and details scenarios that highlight that cloud adoption alone isn’t enough. Large enterprises are getting serious about adopting cloud. They aspire to have roughly 60 percent of their environment in the cloud by 2025. Given the scale of this aspiration, business and technology executives are asking themselves: How big is the value at stake in my industry? How quickly will value be captured, and who will capture it?
Five learnings from CTOs and tech leaders on their cloud strategies
There is $1 trillion of potential business value at stake for North American Fortune 500 companies adopting the cloud. 1 Capturing this value requires a holistic cloud strategy that addresses complex cloud business case, architecture, and operating model questions. But how are companies doing on capturing that value? To better answer that question, we interviewed CTOs, senior technology experts, and cloud-program leaders from 50 companies (Exhibit 1).
Five learnings from CTOs and tech leaders on their cloud strategies
Recent interviews with tech executives and cloud-program leaders at 50 companies show a gap between cloud aspirations and cloud adoption—and unclear strategy to close it. There is $1 trillion of potential business value at stake for North American Fortune 500 companies adopting the cloud. Capturing this value requires a holistic cloud strategy that addresses complex cloud business case, architecture, and operating model questions. But how are companies doing on capturing that value?
Debunking seven common myths about cloud
The need for superior speed and agility continues to push companies toward cloud adoption. But while historic predictions anticipated that upwards of 16 percent of enterprise workloads would be in cloud—infrastructure as a service (IaaS)—by 2019, there is a clear lag in 2019’s actual figure, which is half as large, at less than 9 percent. 1 For the most part, this delay in cloud adoption does not stem from a lack of ambition.

How CIOs and CTOs can accelerate digital transformations through cloud platforms
To capture the real value from cloud, companies need to focus their investments and build a cloud-ready operating model. It has been more than a decade since the first corporate experiments with external cloud platforms, and the verdict is long in on their business value. Companies that adopt the cloud well bring new capabilities to market more quickly, innovate more easily, and scale more efficiently—while also reducing technology risk.
Top ten myths of technology modernization in insurance
Many insurers have experienced unsuccessful tech modernization efforts. To reverse this trend, insurers need to first become aware of common misconceptions—and then address them head-on. Modernization of technology can make a significant impact across many parts of the insurance industry, including underwriting, policy administration, and claims.
Easing cloud migration with progressive hybrid-cloud models
Migrating applications and data to public-cloud platforms can be tricky. Companies can ease the transition with hybrid-cloud configurations that progressively combine private- and public-cloud features. Moving processing workloads into the public cloud has helped leading companies to lower their operating costs and build modern IT environments capable of rapid, integrated, and highly automated development and operations.
