Many businesses haven’t fully migrated their operations to the cloud, resulting in hybrid environments that are complex, rife with technical debt, and prevent the enterprise from realizing the anticipated flexibility and agility gains.

Embracing an everything-as-a-service (XaaS) model solves these challenges by shifting the responsibility of asset ownership and maintenance from businesses to service providers, increasing the business’ control over its applications.

Gartner® report: “How Do I Plan for Migrating My Data Center Infrastructure into an XaaS Model?” highlights the benefits of XaaS for data center exits and provides key considerations to help businesses make the shift.

“Many organizations do not have the internal skill sets to effectively manage a cloud migration or complete hardware refresh,” the report states. “Relying on service providers is a way to partially mitigate the problem of skills gaps. Service vendors retain personnel with the expertise to help design and deploy a solution that meets business needs without requiring the client to upskill, reskill or hire.”
