However, the study shows that almost all data management will involve modernization and moving to the cloud.For the study, Deloitte surveyed 504 senior executives last April who reported they are decisionmakers when it comes to cloud or data management at their organizations. Some 46 percent were C-suite executives, 30 percent were senior executives or heads of a business unit, and 24 percent were managers or programmers.

The survey included executives from the consumer, finance, telecommunications, healthcare and government sectors, and results confirmed that both cloud migration and data modernization initiatives are well underway in most medium to large organizations in the U.S. All sectors reported modernization effort to be \u201cgenerally successful.\u201dSome 62 percent of those surveyed expect to succeed in their data modernization efforts, although many do not have formalized plans. Even though fewer than half (48 percent) of respondents said they have a plan, many reported that their organizations are working on the modernization anyway. The consumer, telecommunications, technology and media industries reported the highest level of fully completed data modernization, at 36 percent, followed by life sciences and healthcare, at 33 percent. Across all sectors, the majority were \u201cin progress\u201d toward modernization. Deloitte advises organizations to move forward on data modernization and cloud migration simultaneously. However, if a company is only aligned to achieving one or the other, pursue some \u201cstealth strategy\u201d to incorporate the other, as well, it advises. \u201cIf you are moving to the cloud, consider adopting some data modernization approaches, too,\u201d Deloitte suggests. \u201cIf your primary need is to modernize data, you can do that most effectively in conjunction with cloud migration.

Deloitte\u2019s study follows a new report released last month by cybersecurity firm, Symantec, which cautions about the increased need for security measures during cloud migration.
