Application services help organizations ensure that their critical apps are always available, protect their business from unforeseen threats, and scale seamlessly around the world—no matter where those applications reside.  For our annual survey, we asked IT leaders across a range of industries, company sizes, and roles about how they’re using app services to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the ongoing process of digital transformation. Key finding #1 87% of respondents have multi-cloud architectures, driven by an app-first methodology. Most organizations evaluate cloud decisions based on what environment is best for each application, an app-first methodology that leads to multi-cloud architectures for nearly 90% of respondents. While multi-cloud has evolved from an experiment to a key strategy, enforcing consistent security and ensuring reliable performance remain challenging for most organizations. Key finding #2 69% of respondents are executing digital transformation—and app data reigns. With more than 2/3 of survey respondents engaged in ongoing digital transformation initiatives, IT organizations are reevaluating their structures, processes, and workflows to be more agile. As enterprises migrate applications to the cloud—and with them application data–the importance of data analysis and real-time threat analytics are emerging. Key Finding #3…
