Adopting hybrid or public clouds has become a common strategy for IT organizations to achieve scalability, enhancing price performance and enabling advanced tech-driven business capabilities, although it doesn't always build customer trust due to data breaches and system reliability issues. Customer trust is crucial, as a PwC study highlights a significant gap between business executives' perceptions of consumer trust and the reality reported by consumers, with data breaches being a major threat. Companies like WePay, Albert Heijn Technology, and Kroger have improved customer trust and operational efficiency by leveraging real-time insights and observability tools to enhance their IT systems' performance and security. These organizations demonstrate that optimizing customer experiences, reducing downtime, and achieving scalable log ingestion are key to maintaining trust, as they continue to harness cloud-based data analytics to manage cybersecurity, application performance, and customer interactions.
