Abstract
This IDC Tech Buyer Survey Spotlight is sourced from IDC's Future Enterprise Connectivity Survey, fielded in August of 2024, capturing connectivity technology priorities, networking challenges, and investment expectations from 751 enterprise decision-makers worldwide across 19 countries and 18 vertical industries.
IDC's September 2024 Future Enterprise Connectivity Survey shows that 34% of enterprises ranked adopting a cloud networking strategy that simplifies connectivity to clouds, within clouds, and across clouds is their top overall priority. Employee productivity and operational agility ranked as second overall priority with 30% expecting investment in unified communications and UCaaS to help eliminate data silos, enable employees to work more effectively, and ultimately improve both internal and external experiences.
As data generation network bandwidth requirements grow in parallel, the importance of secure data management becomes a central priority as enterprises continue down the path to become more agile and connected. Cloud connectivity, security, and improving workforce productivity and collaboration remain the top priorities as enterprises increase investment in a broad range of connectivity services.
