DESCRIPTION
We recognise that the cloud is about business transformation, we talk a lot about how to undertake that transformation. But how do you know when you've started to make progress? What would a cloud enabled business do when presented with problems that would be problematic today? We'll run through three common business scenarios and show how making the business align around cloud yields outcomes which would otherwise be challenging to achieve. Whether you're already well under way on your cloud journey, or just beginning the switch, we aim to highlight some of the key differences in how cloud business operate and how this unlocks the efficiencies that are marketed.
