Are you looking at starting or extending your cloud journey but not sure where to start?
CommonChallenges or Pain pointsseen in the market
Uncertainty in adopting a cloud strategy
Data security & recoverability is a concern from a cost perspective
Traditional On-prem solutions are not easily scalable without huge investments (hardware, etc.)
Not understanding what “Modernization” means
The need to reduce their carbon footprint and how that can be applied in IT infrastructure
Uncertainty over cost benefits (from hardware updates, servers, floorspace to support the hardware/servers, electricity bills are high due to cooling equipment, have larger IT systems to support)
WhyOther SolutionsFall short?
Current Providers:
- Offer technical or point solutions that don’t always align to business
- Are not agile
- Look at a point in time costs and not TCO
- Don’t support the continuing journey
Staying On-Prem:
- Have inherent growth and scalability issues
- Have higher and increasing costs
- Inferior security or back up solution – once it’s gone, it’s gone
- Limited accessibility and mobility
What'sNeeded & Why?
- Agility and staff productivity
- Scale and de-scale quickly
- Improve security and operational resilience
- Cost reduction
- Ability to deliver digital transformation and modernisation
- Move faster and transform customer experience
- Drive new innovations and business models.
If this continues, your business could become irrelevant, incur a business damaging event and/or brand damage, costs will continue to increase, and have no ability to grow or expand. This will cost you market share, revenue, staff, customers, brand reputation and/or your business (No data, no business) and ultimately cost more to play catchup.
