Cloud computing is driving a generational opportunity for business innovation. With many of the technology platform decisions becoming table stakes, organizations are increasingly seeing cloud as an opportunity to democratize technology, expand ecosystems of partners and differentiate business models. In this keynote we will review the trends driving cloud adoption and look ahead to what is next for enterprises and technology providers to work together to close the value gap.
Cloud Computing has always been at the forefront of the rapidly evolving software industry. Given its outsized business benefits around innovation and operational efficiency, every ISV must have a digital transformation journey that incorporates cloud adoption. This panel will explore best practices about how organizations are making the transition to cloud. What works for these organizations and how are they struggling to demonstrate value? What does the future hold?
Digital transformation based on cloud-first strategy is a marathon. Any transformation journey which is disruptive and requires changing the core foundation of an enterprise is bound to be challenging. And it will fail unless the journey is well planned with specific goals and the right roles and resources. This panel will explore how enterprises are weighing the benefits while tackling business problems of cloud adoption. We will look at the long-term implications that should be considered while discussing ROI.
