In this episode, Dave and Jez are joined by Carla Arend, a lead analyst for IDC’s European cloud research to discuss some of the most interesting finds in our latest IDC research.
How do digital leaders feel about public cloud being essential for their organization and what is the reasoning for investing in digital transformation?
The Cloudbusting team is joined by Jake Burns (AWS) Enterprise Strategist to discuss the The Cloud Native Enterprise.
Business experimentation joining up with larger scale IT transformation is good, but it’s not enough. To break through to new levels of performance, both need to come together with the right level of ambition and culture.
Listen to Cloud Trend #2, “AI/Data Driven Migration & Modernisation” featuring Jonathan Allen (AWS), Director, Enterprise Strategy.
Use of AI/ML and historical data removes both time and cost from migration + modernization. Automation of these underlying basic tasks allows break through cloud innovation to happen faster and at scale.
Sammy Cheung, Cloudreach Principal Technical Advisor joins the Cloudbusting team for Cloud Trend #3 “Living on the Edge.”
Scale ML models are using the power of Edge and Fog compute to drive new experience and functionality to areas the public cloud cannot easily reach. In turn, they are driving an important evolution in the application architecture possibilities of the cloud.
In this episode, hosts Dave and Jez discuss characteristics of modern leadership and digital maturity in “Developing DQ” with Enterprise Strategist and former CIO, Phil Le-Brun (AWS).
Are your leaders thinking with a digital mindset? Your Digital Quotient is not just a measure of organizational maturity but, critically, of each leader’s ability to think and operate cloud natively.
