Anthos is Google\u2019s open hybrid and multi-cloud application platform that allows organisations to modernise their existing applications, build new apps and run them anywhere in a secure way. On April 9th 2019, during the yearly Google Cloud flagship event Google Cloud Next in San Francisco, the world came to know this new platform. It was and is a game changer for organisations to accelerate and modernise their application development. In this blog I\u2019ll highlight the trajectory that this exciting technology has made in the past year. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, at Google Cloud Next 2019, <\/a>definitely one of the biggest announcements was the introduction of Anthos<\/a> that became generally available.<\/p>\n

Expectations of the industry were high for this unique new platform that offers organisations a unified control plane and service delivery across cloud environments<\/strong>\u2014managed cloud and on-premises.

Is application modernisation with a hybrid or multi-cloud approach bringing enough ROI to businesses that work with Anthos to do so?<\/p>\n

ROI Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The answer is unmistakably: yes it does.<\/strong> For that, we can take a look at a study conducted by Forrester, the commissioned Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact\u2122 study.<\/a> The results are indicating big results for customers who adopt Anthos.
