1 What do Cloud Customers Want September 2014 Fuld Omniscope 131 Oliver Street, 3 rd Floor Boston, MA USA phone: fax: Boston London Manila Singapore

2 Cloud market is growing, but what do customers want? What We Knew Before the Study Cloud Market is Growing 2014 estimates suggest that businesses in the US would spend ~$13Bn on cloud computing services. Cloud spending continues to grow and organizations see it as one of the top focus of investment. CIOs expect cloud to play a crucial part in empowering the strategic vision of their businesses. With many companies replacing licensed software with web-based subscription versions, cloud computing is said to have reached hyper-growth. The market is estimated to be larger by 20% in six years than initially projected. Non-IT industries, such as manufacturing and clinical research also look at cloud services as a solution to their big data problems. What We Wanted to Know What do Customers Want? What are the key factors driving the choice of a cloud vendor among cloud users in the US and their top-of-mind vendor choices? What brand associations (cloud providers) do customers make for those key factors and attributes? How satisfied are cloud customers / users with their current providers and what would make them consider switching to new providers? What does the adoption behavior look like for cloud services among organizations in the US? Other general insights on the topic of cloud services, e.g. drivers and barriers, opportunities, etc. OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 2

3 We tapped into our Tech Community to get answers How We Approached the Study Our Cloud Tech Leaders Community We tapped into Omniscope s Cloud Technology Leaders Community (TLC) to get insights and build a perspective on the cloud market. Who We Surveyed Experienced Cloud Experts We surveyed a subset of our Cloud Technology Leaders Community (spread across different cloud solution providers in the US) on topics, such as awareness and consideration of various brands in the overall selection process of cloud vendors, factors driving the users choice, overall satisfaction levels with existing vendors, etc. OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 3

4 SUMMARY OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 4

5 Three overarching themes emerged from our discussions Focus on real drivers not just baseminimums Aggressive pricing can help Microsoft and IBM to steal AWS customers Embrace open source and hybrid cloud models Real drivers of customer satisfaction include high performance, load capability, scalability, and upgrades & innovations. All large cloud players (AWS, Microsoft, Google, IBM) are perceived as scalable. Base-minimum attributes for customer satisfaction include reliability, security, elasticity, data resiliency, cost, adaptability and compatibility. AWS and Microsoft fare well on all these attributes. In terms of negative association Microsoft scores low on high performance. IBM is perceived as expensive. Google is perceived as low on adaptability. AWS is still the market leader and their customers are broadly satisfied. However, they are open to switching to lower cost solutions if the price-drop continues. Microsoft and IBM are considered most likely providers as alternatives by the current AWS customers. Microsoft has a real opportunity to entice away AWS customers, if it can a) offer a lower priced alternative, and b) establish itself as a high-performance cloud services provider. IBM, however, may have to work harder to get rid of its expensive image before being able to take away current AWS customers. Google, despite being associated with several positive attributes, will likely have a tough time (despite the price-drop!) since customers find it less adaptable than other solutions. More than two-third of the firms surveyed run web-hosting and analytics applications in the cloud. 87% of the respondents said they use open source technologies and roughly half of them consider it as very important in their operations More than 50% of applications used by majority (or 60%) of the panelists are open source. Almost the same number of those already using open source plan to increase its usage, while only 2% who are currently using proprietary platforms plan on adapting the technology for their operations. About two-third of the respondents surveyed said they employ a hybrid cloud model. OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 5

6 Our analysis suggested that the hard-factors (technical aspects) continue to be the drivers for satisfaction for Cloud buyers rather than many of the soft-factors (emotive aspects). Hygienics refer to the base-minimum requirements that customers look for in cloud providers Drivers refer to the attributes that actually determine a customer s overall satisfaction. Potential savers are the attributes that cloud users do not take into consideration when choosing cloud providers. Hidden opportunities are attributes that can soon be future drivers for overall satisfaction. HYGIENICS Reliability Scalability DRIVERS Adaptability has the highest derived importance among the hygienics, emphasizing the importance of ease of integration for users. Elasticity Security Data Resiliency Performance is the top factor for the overall satisfaction of customers. High Performance Stated Importance 1 Cost is a basic consideration but has not been rated high by panelists. Customers do not like solutions that will get them stuck to one vendor. POTENTIAL SAVERS Cost Compatibility Tried and Tested Customized Deployment Stickiness Wide range of purchase options Familiarity with systems Adaptability Ease of Purchase Seamless Mobility Responsive Support Load Capability Agility One-stop-shop solution Provides Better Customer Experience Collaborative Approach Strong media presence Derived Importance 2 Continuous product improvements are also a top driver. Upgrades and Innovations Cloud Management Increasing movement towards the cloud would essentially mean that vendors must provide means for customers to manage multiple cloud infrastructure. HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES Note: Stated Importance 1 based on top box scores while Derived importance 2 based on overall satisfaction ratings. OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 6

Note: 1,2 Refer to Appendix 1 for details. h q Soft attributes such as ease of purchase, responsive support, and customized deployments, among others, have a little influence in driving cloud purchase decisions. i l g Sample Size: n=53 c d o j a e f g i h b w r m k t v p u x n y l q s Reliability Security HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES (future drivers) Cloud management (e.g. account monitoring) Agility HYGIENICS (base requirements) Elasticity (e.g. being able to scale up or out) Data Resiliency and Recovery Cost (Affordable) Adaptability/ ease of integration Compatibility of tools across platforms DRIVERS (needed to increase overall satisfaction) High performance (Throughput and latency) Upgrades and Innovations Load Capability Scalability (i.e. being able to increase capacity) POTENTIAL SAVERS (least important factors) Is tried and tested/ has a proven track record Ease of purchase Customized deployment Responsive support (e.g. immediate troubleshooting services) Familiarity with the systems Provides one-stop shop solution Stickiness Seamless mobility Collaborative approach towards creating new product features (e.g. based on customers feedback) Wide range of purchase options (e.g. packages bundles etc.) Strong media presence (e.g. traditional and social media) Provides better customer experience OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 14

15 Brand Association 1 AWS and/or Google are strongly associated with a number of factors considered when selecting a cloud vendor. Classification Attributes/ Brand AWS Citrix Google IBM Joyent Microsoft Oracle Hygienics Drivers Potential Savers Hidden Opportunities Reliability Security Elasticity (e.g. being able to scale up or out) Data Resiliency and Recovery Cost (Affordable) Adaptability/ ease of integration Compatibility of tools across platforms High performance Upgrades and Innovation Load Capability Scalability Is tried and tested/ has a proven track record Ease of purchase Customized deployment Responsive support Familiarity with the systems Provides one-stop shop solution Stickiness Seamless mobility Collaborative approach towards new product features Wide range of purchase options Strong media presence (traditional and social media) Cloud management (e.g. account monitoring) Agility Provides better customer experience Rackspace Tere-- mark VMWare Positive Association Neutral Negative Association Though drivers for overall satisfaction are strongly associated with Google, users find Google cloud difficult to integrate and therefore, goes with AWS. In addition, adaptability, familiarity with systems, and being tried and tested are the unique attributes associated to AWS. Cloud users consider AWS, Google cloud, and Microsoft to be the most scalable. In terms of cost, AWS and Google cloud are top of mind choices Note: 1 The associations are based on perceptions and not on actual performance. Assessment of the actual performance measures can be made as a follow-up study. Please refer to Appendix 1 for details. Sample Size: n=53 OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 15

16 Overall Satisfaction Cloud users are, in general, satisfied with their existing cloud providers; however, a sizeable portion of them are likely to switch to a new vendor if the price drop trend continues. Satisfaction Level OVERALL Based on n=39 A majority (~85%) of the users, both overall and AWS, are satisfied with their existing cloud vendor. In general, 3 of 10 users consider the performance of their existing cloud service provider to be very satisfactory. In case of AWS users, roughly 2 of 5 users find their brand to be exceptionally good. Based on n=7 Very Satisfied Satisfied Neutral Looking for Alternative Providers 58% NO 42% YES Brand Switching Open to Switch with Further Price Drop Originally no but will change mind 16% 42%YES 42%NO 16% of the users, who have no plans of switching providers, are likely to change their minds if the price drop trend continues. While AWS users are likely to switch to Microsoft or IBM, users of other vendors are likely to switch to AWS or Google cloud (companies who are strongly associated with affordability).

24 APPENDIX 1. Methodology Addendum 2. Respondent and Company Profiles OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 24

25 Appendix 1 Methodology Addendum Rationale for using Derived Importance Although frequently done, measuring significance through traditional Likert scales is not really recommended in determining importance because of the following reasons: Importance scales often do not provide adequate discrimination and differentiation between product features, especially when viewed in aggregate People use scales differently and respondents tend to calibrate their responses to previous scores One person s number 5 rating might be another respondent s number 3 rating, which will definitely distort the top box measures. In this case, the very nature of scales that values are relative and not absolute can cause misinterpretation of the results. Through the use of Derived Importance, the relative impact of the attributes on critical performance metrics (i.e., Overall Satisfaction) can be measured. This approach uses correlations which will give us an idea on what are the attributes with actual relevance the higher the correlation between each of the specific attributes and overall satisfaction, the more influence that attribute has on satisfaction, thus the more important it is. Quantitative Tools/ Techniques Used The following quantitative techniques were used in order to identify the drivers of overall satisfaction of cloud service users. Modified Kruskal s Analysis: Gives the ranking of attributes based on importance. A set of algorithms is used in processing partial correlations of attributes with respect to Overall Satisfactions scores. The results are then mapped out against the stated importance ratings to come up with a Quad Map. Quad Map: Shows the grouping of attributes based on stated and derived importance (i.e., the MKA outputs), with the following quadrant definitions: Hygienics: Of secondary importance; need to be maintained as these are somewhat expected by the users Drivers: Key drivers of overall satisfaction; should be focused on Potential Savers: should be least prioritized as these are viewed unimportant Hidden Opportunities: have high actual relevance but not apparent yet. Might be appreciated by the users in the future OMNISCOPE (Confidential) Boston London Manila Singapore 25
