Demystifying the journey to cloud

Kevin Gerrand, Client CTO, Managed Infrastructure Services and Private Cloud , T-Systems

There was a time when there was still a strong argument not to include cloud within your IT strategy. With rare exception, this is no longer the case.

Customers are demanding rapid and intelligently connected digital services, IT costs are spinning out of control, workloads are reaching capacity and system complexity is unmanageable. Furthermore, the existing infrastructure is becoming vulnerable to security threats and data loss.

The questions now are which cloud to move to, how to get there and yield the benefits of the cloud.

This can be a daunting journey. At T-Systems we have developed a technology agnostic and modular roadmap to safely lead your cloud transformation journey. Our framework embraces your individual starting point to deliver a secure, tailored, and proven journey to public cloud that streamlines your IT landscape and empowering your digital transformation.

Join us and learn how to demystify the journey to cloud.

Building technology that helps people do more for the planet.
