Veeam is proud release a the results of another research study yet, the 2023 Data Protection Trends Survey , that is the industry’s largest independent analysis on backup and information protection. This study is independent fully, representing the complete market – not merely Veeam clients – and was performed by way of a third-party research organization, without one understanding that Veeam was involved.

Since 2020, the pandemic increased Digital Transformation (DX) initiatives for most organizations. This tendency continues, however, the problems identified for DX possess shifted.

 <ul>          <li>     In 2021 IT specialists stated that, “Concentrating on maintaining operations because of the pandemic.” has been their finest issue preventing improvement on DX initiatives.     </li>     
 <li>     In 2022 the best DX inhibitor was “Insufficient IT staff abilities or transformational knowledge.”     </li>     
 <li>     In both 2021 and 2022, the next greatest DX headwind had been “Dependencies on legacy techniques and technologies…” or specialized debt.     </li>     
 <li>     In 2023 “Cyber threats” rose to the very best of the DX inhibitor checklist, both as the utmost common issue, and also the most impactful problem.     </li>     
 <li>     In 2023, “Skills shortages” was once again number 2, and in fact generally in most CIO (Chief Details Officer) and CTO (Chief Technology Officer) surveys during the last 10 years and longer, skills position in the very best two of overall worries always, no inhibitor for DX-associated initiatives.     </li>     
 </ul>

Sadly, most organizations don’t have good enough additional resources after attempting to keep up with on a daily basis operations and fending away from increasing cyberthreats and ransomware remediation (see our blog within this series entitled “Developing for Cyber-Resiliency”).

Cyberthreats certainly are a direct hindrance to DX because most companies cannot cope with the strategic if they are busy coping with tactical. The necessity to invest in DX so the organization is better in a position to meet the needs of a changing marketplace (strategic objectives) remains essential.
