A 2018 Global Cio Report

The Speed of Innovation in the Cloud: The Top 5 Challenges explores the mounting pressures CIOs face as digital expectations soar. Based on a global survey of 800 CIOs, this Dynatrace-sponsored report identifies five core obstacles to cloud-native innovation: the accelerating pace of change, rising risks to customer experience, complexity of mastering microservices and cloud migration, siloed DevOps practices, and unplanned work draining innovation capacity.

As users demand more frequent updates—sometimes every hour or minute—CIOs struggle to maintain performance quality without compromising speed. The shift to hybrid, multi-cloud environments and microservices only adds complexity, making traditional monitoring tools and isolated team structures insufficient. Despite 68% of organizations exploring DevOps, 74% of CIOs cite lack of unified tools and shared data as major bottlenecks. Meanwhile, unresolved performance issues and avoidable outages often derail transformation efforts.

Dynatrace offers an AI-powered software intelligence platform designed to break down silos, automate problem detection, and empower BizDevOps teams with real-time feedback. This fosters a culture where innovation and performance go hand in hand.
