Abstract: Enterprise modernization has become a critical priority for organizations seeking to improve scalability, agility, and operational efficiency in an increasingly digital environment. Hybrid cloud deployment has emerged as a strategic approach that integrates on-premises infrastructure with public and private cloud services, enabling enterprises to leverage the benefits of multiple compu-ting environments. This study presents an evidence mapping analysis of multi-environment strat-egies used in hybrid cloud deployments to support enterprise modernization initiatives. The re-search synthesizes existing literature and industry practices to identify key deployment models, integration mechanisms, workload distribution approaches, and governance frameworks adopted across diverse enterprise settings. The findings highlight how multi-environment strategies en-hance flexibility, optimize resource utilization, improve security compliance, and support gradual migration from legacy systems to modern cloud-native architectures. Additionally, the evidence mapping reveals common challenges such as interoperability, data consistency, management complexity, and security integration across heterogeneous environments. By systematically cate-gorizing and analyzing available evidence, this study provides a structured overview of current hybrid cloud deployment practices and offers insights that can guide organizations in designing effective multi-environment strategies for successful enterprise modernization.
