When faced with uncertainty, people take priority. Your first response should be ensuring the safety of employees, enabling partners, and supporting your customers and community. The health of the economy depends on collective well-being, not the wealth of a few.
Covid-19 didn’t trigger the digital transformation, it simply accelerated its pace. It is plain to see that those who haven’t been disrupted are organizations who were two steps ahead in the digital game and in their cloud journey.
Organizations are migrating to the cloud to create agility within the enterprise, drive innovation at scale, and increase resilience. They must assess real-world problems to build reusable assets on the cloud that can be pivoted and leveraged in existing and potential projects.
The complete transition to the cloud takes place in three stages: the migration of workloads, transformation of workloads, and finally application of cloud in products and services. As we get to the other side of this crisis, digitalization with cloud as the foundation will prove fruitful.
According to the findings of the 2020 IDG Cloud Computing Study, 32% of the IT budget is expected to be allocated to cloud computing within the next 12 months. With cloud adoption on the rise, we must understand how this pivot will help enterprises.
At Infosys Confluence 2020, we explored cloud acceleration with Janet Kennedy, VP, Google Cloud, North America Regions shedding light on the partners’ perspective, and Shawn Wharton, CIO, Trading and Shipping IT&S, BP giving us insights from the client community. Ravi Kumar S, President, Infosys, shared the practitioner’s view, with David Wilson, SVP and Head Global Alliances, Infosys, steering the panel to capture every facet of change.
We think we would progress from migrating to the cloud to transforming workloads on the cloud, but also impact business models to be more digitized than ever before as we get to the other side of the crisis.
