Time is growing short for the enterprise to begin the process of transforming traditional data infrastructure and business models to more flexible constructs tailored to the delivery of digital services. The service economy is preparing to kick into high gear in 2020 with the introduction of 5G wireless and advanced technologies like machine learning, which means organizations that cling to legacy static infrastructure and processes will find it difficult, if not impossible, to compete for new digital-savvy customers.
A key element in this transition is the cloud. By implementing public and private architectures quickly and thoroughly, the enterprise gains a huge advantage when it comes to tailoring environments to key applications and workloads. In both the development stage and during ongoing production environments, the cloud provides broad flexibility needed to push new product functionality to market faster, while at the same time controlling overall IT costs through dynamic scaling, automated management and other orchestration capabilities.
The best way to go about this, of course, is to partner with leaders in the field. While it is important to select a top cloud platform, it is also crucial to align with a leading technology consultant with expertise in other mission critical applications that support voice, data, networking, managed services, and the plethora of other elements that make up a well-rounded digital enterprise.
Forward-looking cloud
In this light, more and more enterprises are coming to the conclusion that a managed public cloud powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the best way forward. Not only does Amazon serve more businesses than any other provider, it offers a wide range of architectures for small, mid-sized and large enterprises, and it has a proven track-record of providing cutting edge technologies.
For organizations that lack the in-house expertise in cloud infrastructure, engaging with a cloud provider with a myriad of optional services can be daunting. This is why a solid partner like CBTS is vital, both during and after the crucial transition phase.
