Business transformation and growth initiatives are top priorities for CEOs.

Regardless of whether those transformation efforts execute on a digital business, customer experience, or other business strategies, transformation means changing the behavior of people, systems, and “things” (IoTs) to deliver business outcomes.

Enterprises no longer have the luxury of taking a long time to make these changes.

Cloud, as well as other technology drivers, lower the barrier to entry for new competitors.

But cloud can accelerate time to transformation and even make it possible for mature companies to behave like a startup.

Discussion Topics:

  • How can you make more innovative use of cloud
  • Where have “real” companies used cloud successfully for business transformation
  • What capabilities do you and your cloud service providers need

Presenter: Michele Cantara, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Research VP
