Cloud Journey Report

Get insights into competitors share of cloud services with our Cloud Journey Reports.

SoftwareOne is uniquely positioned to help businesses on their cloud journey, and with our xSimple customers in mind, we have built a complementary report for our “Simple” views.

We currently only support AzureSimple service.

The Cloud Journey Report gives our Simple customers a unique insight into market competitors' share of cloud services, which paints a picture of their own position compared to those competitors. By analyzing this information, you can take full advantage of improving your operations, maximizing cloud features, and optimizing your cloud cost. Market Competitors are companies of a similar size and from the same industry.

The Cloud Journey Report is divided into 4 sections:

• Comparison Panel

• Information Panel

• Managed Service Panel

• Service Articles Panel

Comparison Panel

This is the backbone of the Cloud Journey Report, where you can easily see your position in cloud service usage compared to their market competitors.

A radar chart outlines service use across cloud service categories, and any gaps are easily identified.

For a better understanding of your market competitor's share across categories, and why they may utilize given services, you can find a list of every category with its share.

You will also find relevant articles that describe the benefits of using those respective services, just under the radar chart.

On the Your service usage tab, you can refer to a complete list of their services for comparison.

Information Panel

As the name suggests, this panel gives you a brief description of your currently used SoftwareONE service. It also shows when it was last updated and you can download the report in PDF format.

For AzureSimple service data is collected once a month.

Manage Service Panel

There is so much to learn and adapt in the cloud, but many organizations don’t have the time or expertise to achieve optimal results. Consequently, this leads to missing:

• Optimal security configurations

• Cost optimization opportunities

• Understanding of governance strategies

• Opportunities to innovate with cloud

• Cloud-focused and automated operational outcomes

• Optimal migration strategies and full use of the cloud

• Understanding of cloud scope against current consumption

Whether a business is using some or many cloud resources, not having a proper strategy will lead to a lack of operational standards, security risks, and wasted cloud costs.

For that reason, we offer our customers an easy way to opt in for Managed Service.

Service Articles Panel

This panel is another good source of relevant articles that can help you on your cloud journey.
