IDC Report: Enterprises Gain Higher Efficiency and Resiliency With Migration to Cloud  Today many enterprises are adopting a cloud-first strategy to get faster time to value and scale their business. As expansion to the cloud continues, IT leaders are continuously looking for better ways to strengthen security and focus more on driving business value.   Register for our Get Resiliency in the Cloud event, taking place January 18th, 2024 from 8:30 - 11:30 AM PST, to hear directly from IDC and Pacific Dental Services share benefits and best practices for migrating to cloud.  Migrating on-premises deployments to Splunk Cloud Platform delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offers a win-win for enterprises. In this white paper, IDC examines the drivers and benefits of moving to the cloud across three current Splunk customers who migrated to Splunk Cloud Platform and saw immediate benefits:  HSBC: Accelerated time to value and increased scalability by >300% Pacific Dental Services: Increased operational efficiencies by more than 40% GAF: Realized annual cost savings by 20% By moving to Splunk Cloud Platform, these organizations were able to free IT operations and security teams from the daily maintenance of on-premises solutions, reduced administrative overhead costs, streamlined upgrade cycles, improved cross-team collaboration, and enabled businesses to provide new offerings to their customers quickly. As a bonus, they have been able to take advantage of new features and versions quickly and with less risk.  As more and more firms see flat or negative budgets in the coming year, the need for more efficient operations and quicker time to value means that the growth of cloud and SaaS solutions is likely to rapidly continue. As enterprises migrate new deployments to the cloud, proper planning, understanding the migration process, and managing the impact across people and technologies is essential. Besides reporting the customer benefits of migrating to cloud, IDC provides a comprehensive blueprint on the best practices and recommendations for completing a successful migration to the cloud, delivered as a SaaS solution. This blueprint includes considerations such as leadership buy-in, extensive up-front planning, thorough understanding of the on-premises environment, available tools, services and resources from the vendor before migration. It recommends several pieces of advice for IT leaders and teams moving to the cloud regardless of the target SaaS provider.  Learn more:  Register for the cloud event Get Resiliency in the Cloud to hear from IDC and Pacific Dental Services share benefits and best practices for migrating to cloud.

For the past three years, Splunk has partnered with Enterprise Strategy Group to conduct a survey that gauges the impact that Splunk has had on the careers and livelihoods of its users. This year, 750 members of our incredible Splunk community participated in our annual Career Impact Survey, confirming what we've already known since we began facilitating this report: Using Splunk, learning Splunk, and getting Splunk Certified pays off — literally! First off, we want to thank each and every one of you who took the time to participate in this year’s survey. Your perspective and insight is crucial and we are so grateful for you all!  The core takeaway from this year’s report is that despite the ever-changing and rather turbulent landscape that is working in tech, knowing Splunk remains an incredibly valuable skill. Knowledge of Splunk, including taking official Splunk Education courses and getting Splunk Certified, helps folks feel more secure in their roles, more comfortable weathering economic conditions outside of their control, and ultimately results in greater compensation and opportunities for advancement. Read the full 2023 Splunk Career Impact Report here. Splunk Knowledge = Career Resilience The survey findings made it clear that a strong command over Splunk was seen to positively influence respondents’ career direction, compensation, and opportunities for advancement.  Splunk users with higher proficiency levels were 2.7 times more likely to have received job promotions in the past year. The survey also indicated that users with certifications and higher Splunk proficiency earn almost 131% more than their peers. We also learned that 72% of those surveyed felt confident in their career resilience and that Splunk proficiency is key to accelerating their professional journey. Employer Recognition and Market Competitiveness Splunk's impact goes beyond individual careers, extending to organizational success. An astounding 86% of respondents attributed their organization's strengthened competitive position to the utilization of Splunk.  Respondents also attributed being more Splunk proficient with feelings of greater self-worth and value in their profession and career. The survey further revealed that professionals with high Splunk proficiency were 60% more likely to feel valued by their employers.  Looking Ahead The 2023 Splunk Career Impact Survey highlights the undeniable positive impact that Splunk proficiency and certification have on practitioners’ career and professional advancement.  From increased job security to enhanced market competitiveness, Splunk's impact resonates deeply within the Splunk user community. The survey reaffirms our commitment to empowering professionals with the tools and knowledge necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
