How Do IT Decision Makers Choose Cloud Services?

Uncovering unmet market needs to expand across public, private, and hybrid cloud.

Challenge

A global technology client wanted to improve its go-to-market strategy. They sought to understand how IT leaders at public, private, and hybrid cloud service providers within SaaS companies perceived its own and its competitors’ offerings. They also sought to understand general market trends and the decision-making processes of buyers.

The client needed to quickly uncover unmet customer needs in this highly technical B2B market, which is subject to fast-changing technical requirements and a specialized customer base.

Additionally, GLG recruited 40 IT leaders with deep experience at cloud-based companies to serve as a panel for qualitative interviews, matching each leader against the client’s required criteria.
