The digital age has fundamentally altered both business
processes and the technology that supports them. Fast-moving start-ups
increasingly disrupt established industries, bringing new competition to the
market.
Consider how car-sharing apps have hurt the taxi trade,
how home-sharing programs eat into hotel profits, and how vacation sites have
all but eliminated travel agencies. Similar transformations affect the
healthcare, insurance, and banking industries, among others.
How did certain companies cause so much disruption in so
little time? Some were born in the cloud, without the burden of an existing IT
environment.
The pursuit of digital transformation and the need to
compete in fast-changing business environments challenge CIOs and other IT
leaders.
This white paper examines the advantages and challenges
of migrating enterprise workloads to the cloud along with associated data. It
discusses the benefits of working with a third-party cloud services provider
and how to choose the right provider to meet enterprise needs.
