7. ▪ As collaboration moves from on-prem to the cloud, many organizations struggle
with moving years of on-prem infrastructure, customizations, and data to the cloud.
▪ Before this study, there had been no accurate data as to how many customers are
actively pursuing hybrid solutions as a strategy, versus simply displacing their on-
prem environments with the cloud.
▪ Additionally, there had been no accurate data identifying the gaps between existing
on-prem deployments and SharePoint Online, and how many companies are
impacted by these gaps.
▪ Having clear data helps us better understand why some companies are not adopting
the cloud version of SharePoint, or are less engaged than with the on-prem version
of the product.
