  Preface   Thank you for joining us for Part 2 of this 3-Part series on Cloud Costs. Please reference the following 3 blogs to get the complete 2023 Cloud Cost Series:  Part 1: Feb 15:   Top 5 Price Shock Phenomena of Cloud   Part 2: Mar 15: Top 5 Workloads that are NOT Well Suited for the Cloud  Part 3: Apr 15: Top 5 Reasons Why Clients Are Repatriating Workloads  Part 2: Top 5 Workloads NOT Well Suited for The Cloud  Introduction  Since the mid-2000s, clients have been migrating workloads to the cloud with increasing frequency, but recently, we have seen clients start to repatriate previously migrated workloads back on-premises, due in no small part to the   price-shock   phenomena discussed in Part 1 of this series. In many cases, the causes of   price-shock   can be traced back to workloads that are not well suited for the cloud due to their characteristics which are often resource-intensive. In Part 2 of our 3-Part s...

  This is part 1 of an ongoing series we call  ‘Debunking Microsoft’  where we address the ongoing disinformation, half-truths, and mysticism surrounding its own products as it relates to Customer licensing, usage, contracts, terms, pricing, and much more. In part one, we address what we frequently hear from clients; that Microsoft has told them regarding usage of their own licenses in a cloud other than Microsoft's.....words to the effect of “You can’t use your existing Microsoft licenses on non-Microsoft clouds such as Amazon or Google.” Well, that’s not true and Microsoft knows it. This is just one case of Microsoft’s constant and consistent questionable behavior. It’s clearly been approved from the highest levels within Microsoft, intentionally designed to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the minds of customers, while also carefully skirting the line of anti-competitive behavior that would put them in a legal spotlight around potential abuse of their monopoly ma...

Preface: Thank you for joining us for this 10-part series to discuss the  Top 10 Ways You can Save on your Mainframe Costs in 2023 .  In case you missed our first of the series,  Bonus Article - #0 of 10 - click here  to read that as well. Nearly all Clients are Clamoring for Savings in 2023.  This is largely due to (a) rising input costs, (b) softening business forecasts, and (c) continued economic headwinds. This has caused many clients to re-evaluate spending plans and implement new cost-cutting targets. IT is the Number One Cost Savings Category of the Modern Enterprise.  IT is typically the highest indirect spend area for modern enterprises and is also the cost category with the highest potential yield (we average about 33% savings on addressable IT spend). In addition, since 2020, clients have largely exhausted conventional cost savings countermeasures such as canceled projects, delayed spending plans, and cuts in discretionary spending, and many have...

  Introduction Many of you will remember last year’s very successful blog regarding the  Top 10 India-Based IT Services Companies for 2022 , where Mphasis was rated as the #1 overall performing “India-Based” IT Services Company. We decided to expand the focus this year beyond “India” to include the rest of the world, and while India remains a critical region for offshoring talent, and certainly India-based firms are disproportionately represented in the analysis, the India-based firms are also competing (and winning) head-to-head with the global elite, so there is no reason why we can’t measure them in the full context of the highest demands of our global clients.
