Singapore firms optimistic about GenAI but face IT infrastructure gaps

Only 60% of Singaporean businesses have adopted application containerisation.

Singapore organizations are highly optimistic about Generative AI (GenAI) but a lack of containerization adoption threatens to slow progress.

According to the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report, only 60% of Singaporean businesses have adopted application containerisation. This is significantly lower than the 80% adoption rate across Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ) and globally.

Singapore organisations recognise the benefits of cloud-native and containerised applications. These technologies are crucial for scalability, security, and efficiency as AI solutions become more widespread.

Singaporean organizations are eager to adopt GenAI. Nearly 90% expect to break even or see financial gains from their investments within one to three years, surpassing the 80% global average.

Despite strong enthusiasm, implementation remains a hurdle, with more than 70% of businesses in Singapore struggling with infrastructure and integration challenges.

About 80% report their current IT systems require substantial upgrades. Without these enhancements, supporting GenAI applications will be difficult.

Less than 50% of Singaporean decision-makers feel equipped for security and ransomware protection. In contrast, over 60% of APJ and global counterparts report better preparedness.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
