The goal of this special study is to determine how organizations use and manage data in the hybrid/multicloud setup in the digital transformation (DX) era, associated challenges and needs, importance of data to the business, and the different roles and responsibilities associated within DX initiatives. This study is anchored by a survey of approximately 500 C-level and data executives currently using or evaluating data services for hybrid (DSH) cloud and in-depth interviews with customers currently using it.
