Colossal Cloud Challenges
It is no surprise to anyone that cloud migration does not simply mean moving platforms, applications, infrastructure, products and services to the public cloud. Yes, the ultimate goal is moving everything from point A to point B. But, prior to the process, companies must create a strategy which provides long-term benefits such as cost reduction, faster time-to-market and continuous innovation. This panel will explore facets of cloud migration from the perspective of consumer and content, consulting, and technology providers.
