providers

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Masergy,
a leading provider of managed SD-WAN, cloud communications and managed
security solutions, today released results from their new study on
digital transformation (DX) market trends.

The 2019
Digital Transformation Market Trends Report, facilitated by
independent research firm Webtorials, surveyed IT professionals from
companies both large and small across 35 different countries. By
surveying those professionals in a variety of industries, the report
sheds light on the mindsets and technology investments needed to
catalyze IT evolution in enterprise technology environments.

Key findings from the survey include:

4 out of 5 IT professionals say DX is imperative for survival, but 64%
need significant help from outside partners.
The top investments in technology to support digital transformation
are focused on migrating to the cloud and IT security, plus a
significant emphasis on groundbreaking technologies like artificial
intelligence, big data, and IoT.
57% of respondents said their preferred partners for transformation
are smaller, agile service providers.
The primary benefits expected from Digital Transformation initiatives
are led by enhancing the customer experience, remaining competitive in
the industry, and streamlining business processes.
The biggest hurdles to Digital Transformation initiatives are seen as
commitment of budget and top-down support.
