Limited infrastructure capabilities prevent organizations from moving as swiftly as technology leaders want. A recently commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting, on behalf of Quali, says that 63% of surveyed IT and operations decision-makers at enterprise companies agreed that their organization falls short of support for a wide variety of cloud resources. This is, perhaps, one of the top challenges with current infrastructure capabilities.

This is particularly overwhelming for corporations operating in multi-load or hybrid cloud environments.

Around 58% of the surveyed organizations stated that they experienced heavier and greater risk and suffered additional expenses and unnecessary costs because of the infrastructure capabilities, consequently limiting the ability to drive innovation.

With the growing demand for infrastructure automation, organization leaders should identify the weaknesses and how those vulnerabilities impact the organization to capitalize on infrastructure automation.
