As is the trend with many other business-critical functions, database management systems (DBMS) are being moved to the cloud to boost overall flexibility and agility. Are your database investments, staffing methods, and development processes keeping pace?
According to the new Gartner study, 68% of current DBMS revenue growth is in the cloud. To leverage the competitive advantages, Gartner recommends that your business:
- Create a data strategy that leads with cloud-based DBMS
- Plan to migrate on-premises DMBS installation to suitable cloud offerings
- Evaluate your remaining on-prem systems for sunsetting or migration
- Adapt traditional budget processes to operational expense model
