The cloud is the new data & analytics platform. Cloud offers a diversity of choice, but that amounts to increased complexity.

Data & analytics leaders must address various gaps while pursuing their D&A cloud modernization journey.

However, to minimize cloud complexities, data and analytics leaders must update early data engineering practices to lay the right foundation for how data & analytics applications are built, managed and operated in the cloud.

They must establish a strong cloud data management strategy and approach that can minimize human effort, delays and operational costs.

Join Robert Thanaraj (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Director Analyst in this data & analytics webinar to explore the state of the data & analytics platforms, and the transition to cloud and its implications.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify gaps in operations, skills and tech as you pursue your cloud modernization journey
• Prepare for key data & analytics challenges for transitioning to cloud
• Explore benefits of operating successfully in the cloud or in multiple clouds
