One in two enterprises in Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) will partner cloud providers for generative AI (GenAI) platforms, developer tools and infrastructure by 2025, according to IDC.
These enterprises are aware of the rise of GenAI, the importance of cloud to innovation and making new technologies accessible at a faster pace.
In their digital enablement efforts, they realise the need to leverage both internal and external data for advantage and innovation. Enterprise that want to do so understand that the speed, agility and scalability they need to derive this intelligence is built on a cloud foundation. The ability to leverage a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architecture is mission critical to their GenAI strategy.
IDC predicts that by 2025, 23 percent of enterprises will implement cloud-native application protection platforms with AI to enforce continuous compliance with cloud security posture management features.
By 2027, two-thirds of cloud applications are expected to use AI, leaving 80 percent of Asia organisations to struggle with finding enough skilled AI professionals to continually manage and update them.
GenAI will reinvent refactoring of legacy apps, with enterprises utilising GenAI tools and cloud service provider platforms to initiate and execute 60 percent of code conversion and development tasks by 2027.
“APEJ organisations and their leaders will need to grasp both the broad long-term impact of AI as well as the immediate impact of GenAI investments across their entire technology landscape to ensure they capitalise on opportunities and manage costs and risks,” said Daphne Chung, Research Director, Cloud Services and Software of IDC Asia/Pacific.
