Recover From The Pandemic, Automate Operations To Free Budget For Innovation

The global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly every aspect of our lives and businesses. The way executives are modernizing their application portfolios is no exception. Many enterprises and executives are suddenly shifting their software priorities, moving some projects to the front of the queue and pushing others back. Executives who remain positive and continue to experiment with new technologies and processes will learn the most from this crisis and position their companies to stay ahead of the curve. Conversely, executives who hunker down to avoid risk by sticking with older tools, technologies, and processes will find their businesses further behind than when the crisis started.

In July 2020, VMware commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate how the pandemic has impacted executives and their ability to modernize their application portfolios. Forrester found that rapidly changing business and customer demands have had a significant impact on executives’ priorities.
