Many companies have had to accelerate their digital transformation to quickly respond to and recover from dynamic market changes driven by the pandemic. At the heart of this transformation is data management, AI and the cloud.

Finance and IT leaders in Manila, Philippines are invited to join this roundtable luncheon on ‘Understanding and accelerating business value creation in IT and operations via cloud transformation’.

An expert moderator will guide the knowledge-sharing event, stimulating discussion between participants in a closed, confidential environment. Attendance is by invitation only and complimentary. Registration is limited to a select number of guests per event.

Understanding and accelerating business value creation in IT and operations via cloud transformation

Now more than ever, operations and IT leaders view cloud providers as strategic technology partners in today’s digital-first world. Yet, increasingly, cloud selection processes are going beyond technology considerations to look more deeply at the business value benefits. However, understanding the value of cloud transformation can be difficult. 

Identifying specific areas of cost savings versus on-premises infrastructure expenses is a complex process, and quantifying non-cost-related areas can be challenging, to say the least. While migration, in and of itself, is a tall task, some organisations have been more successful than others in realising the value from cloud services. Moving forward, migration and cloud transformation must be approached as an organisation-wide initiative, not one solely driven by IT, to achieve true cost savings and maximise outcomes. 

• What business outcomes and value benefits should organisations expect from cloud transformation? How can organisations accelerate value creation and reduce costs?
• What should organisations consider when creating a business case for transformation?
• How should organisations evolve their cost and financial management in the digital age?
