Organizations Increasingly Looking for Outside Help with Disaster Recovery
If there were ever any questions about the need for disaster recovery planning, those doubts were dispelled over the past few years. A worldwide pandemic, power outages, wars, and cyberattacks exposed those organizations that were not fully prepared to respond to those disruptions. But what if the IT organization does not have the resources or the capability to do it all in-house? This is why many organizations are turning to disaster recovery outsourcing providers to step into the gap. This Research Byte analyzes the five-year trend in DR outsourcing.
Disaster Recovery Outsourcing Trends and Customer Experience 2022
Experiences over the past two years have revealed that many organizations were not adequately prepared for a worldwide pandemic from a business continuity perspective. But most enterprises responded by establishing remote working environments on short notice and built out the network infrastructure and security measures to support them. Now, emerging from pandemic lockdowns, most businesses are retaining these remote work capabilities, even if they are to support a hybrid work model. Businesses are now more resilient, not just in facing another pandemic but in supporting remote work in the event of other natural or man-made disasters.
The Evolution of Procurement: Bringing Resilience and Agility in a Time of Disruption
The procurement business function has traditionally been cost-focused. However, supply chain disruptions from recent global crises have shown the need for a more agile procurement process. CPOs are responding by planning for inflation with advanced purchasing, using AI to find alternate sourcing options to deal with disruptions, and even personalizing the requisition experience for all employees to look more like e-commerce. To meet these evolving demands, enterprises are increasingly turning to service providers to transform their procurement functions.

From Optimization to Automation: Achieving Greater Business Value in the Cloud
IT has undergone a fundamental and permanent change over the past two years. While enterprises had already embarked on their digital journey, the rapid shift to remote working during the pandemic, and the need for digital channels for customer engagement further propelled the demand for cloud services. For many IT organizations today, any new financial investment is prioritized toward cloud spending. The two main uses of these funds are: investing in cloud infrastructure to leverage advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT); and migrating legacy workloads to cloud native or (creating) modernized workloads to enhance digital engagement with customers, accommodate a remote workforce and bring agility into their operations.
