 Methodology
 IDC has collected these benefits through self-reporting means, and
have reconciled the results to avoid double/triple counting across all
pillars and benefits. There still may be an issue of double counting
from the customers perspective, due to their inability to isolate such
benefits.
 To derive the business value metrics, IDC used combination of
existing and new primary surveys and secondary research to calibrate
the % improvement by industry and size.
 In total, IDC utilized a combination of 12,651 survey responses to
inform the value metrics model. This number of respondents
provides a high degree of confidence in the value metrics.
 The survey respondents were asked to provide % improvements by
each type within each pillar: CX, EPM/ ERP, HR, SCM, IaaS and PaaS,
irrespective of the cloud vendor, to calibrate vendor-agnostic value
benefits.
 Overall, the average ‘live’ period was 2.8-3.1 years across all surveys
though differed slightly depending on the pillar, industry, and
company size.
