STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

U.S. adoption of cloud services continues to grow and change in multiple industries, expanding the market for services from AWS and its ecosystem partners, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group () (Nasdaq: ), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ AWS Ecosystem Partners report for the U.S. finds companies are turning to AWS for secure, scalable cloud-based infrastructure they can use to become more agile. Seeking long-term competitiveness, the firms are using the cloud in new ways to innovate and enhance operations.

“U.S. enterprises are adopting cloud services strategically, launching initiatives with specific goals, such as establishing DevOps frameworks,” said Bernie Hoecker, partner, Enterprise Cloud Transformation leader, ISG. “Cost, security and resilience are becoming necessities.”

Companies are shifting more on-premises infrastructure to AWS, driving up demand for cloud migration services in the U.S., the report says. To maximize the value of their AWS investments, firms are also seeking post-migration services, including cost optimization, performance tuning and reviews of cloud architecture. It is becoming more common for enterprises to outsource cloud infrastructure management and operations.

U.S. enterprises are combining AI with analytics for improved decision-making, forecasting and customer experience, taking advantage of core benefits of cloud infrastructure, ISG says. Many are investing in real-time analytics to meet a growing need for quick decisions. Custom AI and ML models designed for specific business objectives, such as anticipating retail store demand and personalizing shopping experiences, give companies a competitive edge.

Generative AI (GenAI) is becoming a major driver of cloud computing and storage use in the U.S., ISG says. This is especially true in the country’s massive retail sector and banking, financial services and insurance industries, which rely on positive customer experiences for success. AWS and its provider partners are devoting significant resources to supporting GenAI with scalable and elastic cloud resources.

“GenAI is opening up new possibilities in many industries,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “The AWS ecosystem is emerging as a key enabler for GenAI applications.”

AWS is also a preferred platform for running SAP workloads, with many U.S. enterprises turning to AWS and its partners for SAP S/4HANA transformations, the report says. The high-performance computing, scalable storage and security features of AWS have made it especially attractive to large enterprises migrating complex SAP landscapes to S/4HANA.

The report also explores other trends affecting the AWS ecosystem in the U.S., including the growing popularity of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies and an increasing focus on cloud sustainability.
