    The cloud journey has evolved beyond simple migration, creating unprecedented revenue opportunities for partner organizations who can strategically navigate the workload placement landscape. In this expert analyst presentation, Principal Analyst Simon Robinson (Enterprise Strategy Group, part of Omdia) will reveal the latest trends and data behind the growing cloud repatriation movement.

    Robinson will share critical data points, including:

    • Current repatriation adoption rates across different industries
