Key Takeaways
Going all-in on digital
Enterprises have accelerated their cloud transformation journeys in light of the pandemic. Companies with early digital transformation investments have doubled down to increase market share, while those embarking on it now want to move with extreme speed.
The factors that be
The faster shift to digital isn’t a strategy but a necessity. And it’s happening everywhere, all at once. As enterprises fast-track their digital journeys and strive to get to market faster, the critical drivers for transformation are cost efficiency, AI and automation.
Delivering results-as-a-service
A project is only as efficient as the tools used to execute it. For enterprises, that means finding cloud transformation services that bring together the infrastructure and platforms that enable agility, alongside expertise that minimises risks and delivers results at scale, with speed.
On-ground is on point
For global clients that operate across geographies, access to a localised crew of experts and partners can unlock whole new efficiencies. A local services ecosystem not only offers gains in speed, but can leverage its understanding of the market to offer more tailored services.
All large enterprises have seen massive acceleration in their digital cloud transformation journeys. Those with early investments have benefited.
