• Advancing technologies give you new options, but complexity can make them hard to manage

Supporting an increasingly dynamic and complex environment is becoming the “norm”

Cloud opens up new opportunities• Enables new, agile ways of doing business

• You can get up and running quickly and with low investment

• Pay for what you need, rather than investing heavily in equipment

• Provide the right tools for each person, rather than everything for everybody

• Concentrate on running your business, rather than running your systems


In this world reliability is still just as important as agility• Business units are becoming more demanding of I.T.

• Customers expect outstanding service experiences

• Lots of “cloud” providers with differing levels of infrastructure and service investments are available

• Customers are demanding data sovereignty

• Integration between systems
