Success from business transformation, digital innovation, and customer satisfaction initiatives are intrinsically associated with purpose-built cloud architectures, cloud governance and cloud economics.
When executed well for the business, each one of these areas minimize risks and optimize costs. Demands are high from CIOs, CFOs, + CTOs to produce considerable budget savings and also re-allocate those dollars to core growth areas without compromising the security and reliability of the current infrastructure or applications that run the business.
With existing resources strapped on day-to-day work, it is difficult for today’s businesses to rapidly execute their transformation and innovation agendas. How to deeply understand, analyze and improve cloud operational excellence while optimizing costs in this time of digital disruption is a struggle for many of today’s business leaders.
In this pop-up we will analyze the actions early adopters are taking around Cloud Economics, helping them drive down cloud costs, ensure secure and optimal performance on key workloads, and negate any costly operational risk to build competitive advantage.
