We are witnessing the impact of digital transformation in every industry and technology is advancing faster than anticipated. Cloud is no more an infrastructure choice for organizations; it’s at the core of enterprises’ digital transformation programs. Organizations are moving to the public cloud to innovate at scale, drive business agility, improve organizational productivity, and modernize customer experiences.
Although every business aims to implement a cloud-first approach, the reality is that it is not an easy task, particularly when it involves migrating mission-critical workloads such as VMware environments. The process of moving to the cloud requires significant effort in terms of refactoring and reskilling, which can be complex and daunting, making it challenging to adopt cloud technology.
At the recent edition of ‘Digital Leaders Club’ curated by CORE Media and powered by Google Cloud India, CIOs from the manufacturing businesses and Google Cloud India executives discussed the different aspects of how digitization is making rapid advancements in the sector and what are the new use cases that will be introduced in the near future.
Anoop Mathur, Founder - CORE Media, started the conversation by talking about how enterprise leaders can simplify their cloud journey by moving their VMware environments to Google Cloud VMWare Engine without changes to the apps, tools, or processes. We will also explore how enterprises can leverage the value of the existing investments in VMware tools to increase business agility without risk.
Joining Mr. Mathur as a co-host in this discussion was Sai Prasad Kolluri from Google Cloud. The key points highlighted by the CXOs and digital leaders from the BFSI sector attending the discussion were as follows:-
- CIOs are confident about moving their workloads to the Cloud, owing to the built-in security layers, access control within the network infrastructure, compliance, threat mitigation, and many such advantages.
- By providing a scalable and flexible network solution, the cloud enables tremendous opportunities. However, getting the skill sets and resources at par with the pace of digital transformation is challenging and CIOs across varied sectors seek strong and expert cloud technology partners.
- CIOs have identified the need for virtual collaboration on Cloud which will enable co-creating content in real-time, consistent communication, interactive ideation, and prioritizing capabilities.
