Modernizing applications on Azure’s cloud-native services can provide up to a 228% ROI. That ROI is a major finding in a recent Forrester Study on the economic impact of the Azure services. Forrester found organizations embracing modernization in cloud-native services saw a 228% ROI over three years, an average payback period of 15 months, a 50% increase in the speed in which apps are built, and a 40% reduction in infrastructure costs for application development. Details on the Forrester study can be found here.
Why This Matters
- Many companies will start their cloud migration with server migrations and often continue to operate virtual machines, in the cloud, like they were on-premises data centers. This delays the value realization of cloud.
- Forrester found a very significant ROI comes from going serverless and moving into cloud native capabilities with relatively fast returns and payback for the investment.
- The more organizations embrace DevOps practices, the faster and greater these returns will be.
