Directors and c-suite employees are finding challenges associated with buying cloud, web and security solutions. In fact, only eight per cent of 200 respondents said they didn’t according to GlobalDots‘ 2022 State of Innovation Adoption survey report.
GlobalDot is a cloud innovation organisation. It looked to find the latest tech trends and innovative technological solutions being used by DevOps, IT security and engineering departments.
Organisations of all varieties rely on technology more than ever before. The constant adoption of innovation is no longer a luxury but rather a necessity to simply stay on par in today’s fast-paced and competitive digital landscape.
In this environment, IT and security leaders are coming under increased pressure to show great ROIs from their investment in technology. All the while, they must be balancing operational excellence with business innovation. Due to current market realities, IT teams are short-staffed. As a result, they’re suffering from lack of time and expertise, making navigating these challenges even more difficult.

Tech acquisition challenges
An astronomical 92 per cent of GlobalDots’ survey respondents reported challenges in acquiring new tech solutions, highlighting the complexities that go into the decision-making process. Moreover, some 34 per cent of respondents said the overwhelming amount of options was a challenge when deciding on the right solutions. The report also revealed that 33 per cent admitted the time needed to conduct research was another challenge in deciding.
The report investigated how organisations went about finding support for their purchasing decisions. Conferences, exhibitions, and online events served as companies’ top source of information for making purchasing decisions, at 52 per cent.
Third party solutions, such as value-added resellers and consultancies, came in second place at 48 per cent. Some 54 per cent of respondents reported already using third parties to purchase, implement, or support their solutions. This highlights the value dedicated experts with in-depth knowledge of every solution across a wide range of IT fields provide.
Implementing cloud solutions
Respondents were recruited through a global B2B research panel, with 66 per cent from the EU, 24 per cent from the UK, and 10 per cent from the US. 32 per cent of respondents came from the software and gaming industries.
