Infrastructure & Cloud Strategies for a Transformative Enterprise
Is it really possible to create a cloud-first strategy without losing control of your organization’s reliable and secure eco-system? CIOs today overwhelmingly are looking to increase spend on outsourced or cloud-based solutions in order to refocus their internal operations on transformative business oriented priorities. However, infrastructure investment and support remains foundational to keeping the enterprise running. Your Digital Transformation journey according to most CXOs requires a metamorphosis of both organizational and partner structure and capabilities. In this timely engaging session we will explore how CIOs and CISOs are approaching this conundrum and discuss the IT organization’s “future of work” as cloud-first strategies shift from aspirational to reality.
