The right cloud approach can influence digital transformation success
Choosing the right cloud environment can drive operational efficiencies, IT flexibility, and scalability. It can also heavily influence the success of your other digital initiatives, such as artificial intelligence (AI), mobility, big data, and the Internet of things (IoT).
Finding cloud clarity
The advent of hybrid cloud models has resulted in a cloud landscape that is challenging to manage. We can help you plan, build, and optimize cloud infrastructure. In an increasingly hybrid cloud culture, we help to cut through the noise, implement strategically and quickly, and leverage what you have.
Our cloud services help you react quickly to market changes, define workload requirements, manage enterprise workloads, and future-proof and achieve consistent ROI. Our team can help you find answers to these cloud questions:
- What do we want to achieve? How will we measure success?
- What is our best approach? Public, private, or hybrid? Software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), or contact center as a service (CCaaS)?
- Which workloads should we move—document management, databases, CRM, storage and backup, inventory and orders, accounting, HR, quality assurance materials, or something else?
- How will we maintain control of cloud data and systems? How will we ensure privacy, security, and compliance? How will we align vendors?
- What’s our timeline, scope, and budget? Are we applying phases? What are the impacts on policies, processes, and people? How much training will staff need?
