In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, CTOs, VPs of Cloud Infrastructure, heads of product development, and enterprise sales directors from cloud service providers, OEMs, and system infrastructure software vendors were examples of supply-side sources. Chief Information Officers (CIOs), IT infrastructure directors, cloud architects, procurement leads from IT firms, government agencies, BFSI institutions, healthcare organizations, and manufacturing corporations were examples of demand-side sources. Primary research obtained information on cloud migration trends, pricing models, and security compliance needs. It also verified product roadmap deadlines and validated market segmentation.
