Manage and Optimize a Cloud Environment

Maximize the business value of your cloud infrastructure and investments.

Navigating the omnipresent cloud era

Cloud computing is a core underpinning of the business and IT needs of an organization today. However, the way cloud computing is being leveraged is quickly evolving, prompting heads of infrastructure and IT operations (I&O) to reexamine their cloud strategy.

Gartner predicts an increase in organizations leveraging multiple, often more specialized clouds, such as sovereign clouds and contextualization of standard cloud platforms for specific industries. With this comes increasing complexity and new challenges. Learn how to navigate this evolving cloud computing landscape to:

  • Engage with vendors besides your traditional strategy cloud providers to better meet your digital requirements
  • Identify possible partners to support your cloud strategy
  • Weigh technology decisions based on the increasing complex relationships of the vendors you are considering
