From cloud adoption to cloud control: Enterprise Maturity & Strategic Gaps

New research from theCUBE, commissioned by SOUTHWORKS, reveals the strategic gaps holding back enterprise cloud and AI — and how leading organizations are closing them.

What the Enterprise Cloud Maturity & Strategic Gaps report covers — and why it matters

Based on a global survey of enterprise IT decision-makers and cloud architects, the report identifies three fault lines that threaten future scalability and competitive differentiation:

  • The growing governance deficit caused by fragmented Infrastructure-as-Code and multi-cloud sprawl
  • The operational drag slowing application modernization and AI/ML pipeline migration
  • The growing governance deficit caused by fragmented Infrastructure-as-Code and multi-cloud sprawl

Across cloud infrastructure, applications, DevOps, and agentic AI, theCUBE translates these trends into clear, practical strategies — showing how organisations can close the gaps between adoption and control. The report also highlights how SOUTHWORKS helps enterprises operationalize these strategies through standardized governance, managed services, and secure enterprise AI architectures.

Enterprise cloud has reached a critical juncture

Hybrid and multi-cloud adoption is now the norm, and technical maturity is high. But as cloud estates scale and AI moves into production, many organisations are discovering that fragmentation, operational drag, and weak governance are limiting progress.This research study reframes today’s enterprise cloud and AI challenges into an actionable Gap / Solution framework, designed to help technology leaders coordinate initiatives, safeguard data and systems, and accelerate modernization with confidence.
