The report highlights a global shift toward infinite computing and horizontal platforms, prompting CIOs in traditional sectors like manufacturing and pharmaceuticals to abandon on-premise hardware ownership in favor of managing intellectual property assets within cloud ecosystems. By reclaiming data from unsecured ad-hoc tools and leveraging APIs for custom applications, enterprises are mitigating the risk of losing intellectual property while adapting to a workforce that prioritizes mobility and digital workflows.
