Every industry is implementing accelerated digitalization of their businesses, including the modernization of outdated technology infrastructure, by being more efficient with their operations and using information from their operations to create new models for doing business. One of the most common types of cloud services is cloud migration service, which is a way to transfer workloads, applications and databases from physical locations into cloud environments with less disruption to daily operations than other methods. The overall demand for cloud consulting and deployment services and managed cloud services is expected to increase due to the recent increases in adoption of artificial intelligence, analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and cloud-native applications.[1]

Companies are increasingly using the cloud as a means of transitioning to a more efficient operation while reducing capital costs associated with operating physical data centers and using legacy hardware. One of the key features of many cloud platforms is their ability to provide flexible pay-as-you-go pricing structures, which allow companies to more effectively manage IT costs by maximizing the amount of resource that can be used (i.e., using resources more effectively) and only paying for those resources on an "as-needed" basis. The ability to have the quantity of computing resources needed to meet the needs of the business, without incurring any upfront equipment costs, has made migration to the cloud a key goal for companies looking to improve their flexibility (financially) and operational efficiency.[2]

There is an increasing demand for scalable infrastructures with many organizations migrating applications to the cloud as they seek to increase efficiency through migrated applications and a quicker time to market for their new products and services. Organizations can save time and money by utilizing cloud computing services, allowing them to efficiently migrate their applications into a cloud environment, thereby improving their ability to restore services after an outage.

The trends of hybrid and remote employments have many organizations continuing to invest in cloud migration or expanding their use of clouds. Many organizations need secure and dependable access to their applications, data and collaborative tools across multiple geographic locations. Cloud migration services help organizations build centralized, scalable and secure digital environments for remote workers, as well as providing IT departments with simpler processes for managing infrastructure and improving IT resiliency.

Cloud Migration Service Market Research Report

Cloud Migration Service Market Trends

The trend to adopt hybrid and multi-cloud strategies is one of the most important in the cloud migration services market. Enterprises are moving workloads to multiple public, private, and hybrid clouds to be more operationally resilient, not be locked into a vendor and allow for the optimization of costs associated with their infrastructures. As organizations look for more flexibility in how to manage their mission critical applications, the demand for consulting, integration and managed services pertaining to cloud migration continues to grow around the world.

Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing cloud migration processes by improving everything from assessing the workload to planning its migration to determining the dependencies of the applications to optimizing after the migration is complete. Migration providers are deploying AI-based tools because they can help reduce project complexity, minimize downtime and accelerate cloud migration schedules.

Cloud-Native Modernization Continues to Grow as Organizations move Beyond Simple Lift-and-Shift, while the current trend of lift-and-shift is transitioning into more advanced forms of migration such as re-architecting, and containerization, the trend towards adopting Microservices, Kubernetes, serverless computing, and DevOps practices to gain greater benefits from cloud environments is continuing to grow. This is driving the need for enhanced migration services that can assist with the transformation of applications while migrating to the cloud.

Migration to the cloud will require enterprises to consider the security of their data and to ensure compliance with local regulations. Cloud service providers that are successfully providing services to enterprises in highly-regulated sectors of the economy (such as banking and finance, healthcare, government and telecommunications) are increasingly seeking secure migration methodologies and zero-trust architectures, rather than simply fulfilling regulatory requirements.[4]

With continued changes in regulations around the world, cloud migration service providers are increasing their governance and compliance capabilities with a focus on helping their customers address the increasing complexity of their requirements.

With the growth of managed cloud services, more than ever before, organizations are utilizing cloud service providers to provide their operational support. As service providers are being relied upon to perform activities such as cloud optimization, day-to-day monitoring, security management, disaster recovery, and governance of their clients' infrastructure, these providers are also gaining a recurring revenue stream that is benefiting from managed cloud services. As a result, this evolution has created a long-term business relationship for service providers and their customers through end-to-end lifecycle management of cloud migration.
