Summary

Forrester is covering the key technology trends that technology executives should be attuned to in 2021. The desire for greater cloud portability is growing as more organizations pursue hybrid and multicloud strategies, but it’s now driven less by a fear of cloud lock-in and more by an increase in core workload modernization. While enterprises are choosing innovation and speed-to-market for new cloud-native efforts, other factors are driving broader IT modernization efforts. The portability conversation now incorporates those drivers, leading at times to different outcomes. This report covers the dynamics of this trend and advises technology leaders on how best to move forward.
