Many organisations are undertaking the move to Cloud. Whilst there are opportunities to derive some efficiencies and cost savings purely from the transition to newer infrastructure, these can be offset by the costs and challenges of the migration itself.

So, where does the real value of cloud comes from? What do leading organisations do to achieve this? The answer is by asking some important questions:

• How do you need to change the charging model for your technology services to incentivise the whole organisation to support cost optimisation?

• What do you need to do to your development lifecycle to encourage the agility and continuous improvement agenda?

• How does your IT organisation need to evolve to pass on the agility that cloud offers, to the rest of the business?

• How should you architect your systems to make the best use of cloud?

At this market briefing, our speakers will answer these questions and more, sharing their experiences of the challenges and opportunities gained delivering cloud transformation programmes. In addition to this, they will highlight the organisational and cultural changes that should be considered in your company to really unlock the value of cloud.
