Cloud Cover: Introducing a Standardized Pricing Index
This inaugural snapshot of the cloud industry introduces a rigorously standardized pricing index and looks at four trends shaping the industry.
Companies that link their cloud migration to their business strategy can innovate and differentiate faster than ever. Our cloud consulting team helps make that connection—and uncover the value that lines the cloud.
The value of cloud computing is less about the cost savings of running applications “in the cloud”—it is more about a step change in agility, productivity, and speed to market. Companies can address concerns regarding the privacy and security of cloud solutions with proper planning and policies. Indeed, many companies are able to match or even exceed their privacy and security requirements when switching from on-premise solutions to cloud solutions.
When companies connect their cloud journey to their business goals, they create a foundation for high-speed, high-impact innovation and service, and they enable true digital transformation through cloud transformation.
We help companies leverage the cloud to develop—quickly and cost-effectively—new capabilities, new business models, new paths to revenue. We do this through an end-to-end approach:
We also remove the complexity of a cloud migration: helping clients understand when a hybrid cloud or a multi-cloud environment makes sense, and how to avoid disrupting legacy systems still essential for the business. Crucially, we enable clients to take ownership of their cloud transformation, so they can keep building—and keep improving—once we’ve left the scene.
We’ve worked with leading companies, across industries, on cloud migration and transformation, helping them leverage different models—software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service—to move ahead. And stand apart.
