Q5 | What #cloud strategy challenges are Australia enterprises facing?

#UnlockExperiences @tech_mahindra @dez_blanchfield http://www.via-cc.at...

Aanchal Kalia
One of the many challenges would be cloud governance..
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
Public all the way or private hybrid #UnlockExperiences
Guy Shone
Maybe reaching beyond static 'guides' on local regs & engage legal /compliance folk more proactively?#UnlockExperiences @dez_blanchfield @tech_mahindra
Sharath Babu K
mindset, let go of the power n hold of data.

@TmanSpeaks It is gonna be Hybrid Cloud!
Pravin Bolar
biggest challenges right now are deciding on what workloads to move, which cloud provider to choose and whether the commercials benefits stack up
Dez Blanchfield
@kalia_aanchal yes Governance and Compiance are huge challenges but #cloud allows rapid change to address it ;-)
Dez Blanchfield
@Kevin_Jackson where do you see the biggest issues for Govt ?
Dez Blanchfield
@pravinbolar where do you see Tech M customers getting the biggest gains?
Dez Blanchfield
@Ranjitha_Menon 100% yes, Hybird Cloud is THE most sensible form
Kevin L. Jackson - (ISC)2 CCSP, Swansea, UK
Education and change management are hardest in the government sector
Gnanashanker
@TmanSpeaks agree, most of our customers have the dilemma. Application compatibility. Migration costs, time to move. Costs incurred on On Prem. while migrating. These are some of the inhibitors.
Ian Moyse
for many it will be getting out of the old mindset and emotive barriers and being willing to accept change
Dez Blanchfield
@TopCyberNews do you see any key areas of risk to focus on?
Dez Blanchfield
@TmanSpeaks do you think Hybrid is an option?
Pravin Bolar
commercial models for each workload based on its software usage will determine target cloud in future
Kevin L. Jackson - (ISC)2 CCSP, Swansea, UK
In government, changes sometimes need new laws and policies. That's hard!
Ranjitha Menon
@GuyShone Yup! That is must. Meeting regulatory compliance is a very crucial aspect and we need to engage with the right teams proactively to ensure the #cloud journey truly #unlockexperiences !
CT
Security is a big concern especially in gov sector
Pravin Bolar
Absolutely Hybrid is key for next 3 to 5 years until legacy workloads sunset.
Gnanashanker
At TechM we try to solve the mystery. We start from application assessments to building a business case, to helping with "Cloudifying" the apps to the actual move and ongoing operations. So customers have clarity and a clear view on costs
Pravin Bolar
Absolutely Hybrid is key for next 3 to 5 years until legacy workloads sunset.
Grant Johnstone
@pravinbolar I think it will be a LOT longer than 3-5 years :)
Ranjitha Menon
Regulatory compliance perhaps!
Pravin Bolar
one of the key risks is not estimating the data transfer costs
Adam Gabriel
A5. Could it be access to the best #programmers🤓, aka #talent💃🏻? 😉
Ranjitha Menon
@THEAdamGabriel I would rather say talent with a vision! :)
Kevin L. Jackson - (ISC)2 CCSP, Swansea, UK
Security is a red herring. Uncertainty is caused by lack of understanding
Pradeep B Menon
the biggest challenge is scarcity of skills and identifying the right applications to move to cloud
Kevin L. Jackson - (ISC)2 CCSP, Swansea, UK
Data transfer cost is a big problem because of the lack of due diligence when selecting a CSP
Pradeep B Menon
another challenge will be data migration, a key component that is usually overlooked
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
yes #hybrid will get yoiu there a step out of the old and into the new leverage global control #UnlockExperiences
Dez Blanchfield
Q4 | What benefits of #cloud are Australian organizations leveraging?

#UnlockExperiences @tech_mahindra @dez_blanchfield http://www.via-cc.at...

Ranjitha Menon
Definitely cost optimization, agility, scalability among others.
Ian Moyse
agility, speed to market, faster innovation and better user experience.
$Y@M
Scalability for sure..! Cloud infrastructure scales on demand to support fluctuating workloads
CT
dev and test environments in the govt sector is working well. Just the ability to bring up and down requirement environments is a big +
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
Benefits they see after the fact ease of application development #UnlockExperiences
CT
Offerings like office 365 have given it a big boost. This has helped other on-prem systems to move across as well.
John Furrier
Per my segmentation revenue forecast cross industry will drive lots organizations; this validates the need to tear down silo's
Adam Gabriel
A4. Access to latest #platforms💻 & #solutions🖥 despite these technologies being literally on other side of the world❗️
Pravin Bolar
some key benefits being recognized are Faster releases using DevOps with Cloud, software licensing benefits, zero capex projects
jaya jha
Quicker prototypes, faster time to market
$Y@M
Speed to market..Developing in the cloud enables users to get their applications to market quickly
John Furrier
@Kevin_Jackson what about data protection not just primary storage but secondary storage
Grant Johnstone
I have seen organisation benefit from the removal of start up costs, removing the barrier to enter business.. using public cloud
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
@pravinbolar and ability to scale so fast! UnlockExperiences

Cloud backup is the next most popular service.
Kevin L. Jackson - (ISC)2 CCSP, Swansea, UK
Health care and social assistance recorded the highest use of SaaS http://bit.ly/2uMYyt... #UnlockExperiences
Grant Johnstone
I have also seen them move off public to private when things work ... al la drop box, netflix,...
Ranjitha Menon
@Kevin_Jackson Agree. It boils down to how secure your data is on cloud and the DR plan. Data is crucial! :)
Guy Shone
Also a strong Cost optimization story that has cut through with investors
Grant Johnstone
mostly I htink speed/agility and quality .. when tied with the agile/devops/application transformations
Kevin L. Jackson - (ISC)2 CCSP, Swansea, UK
Alibaba recently started operating out of Australia. #Cloud in growing downunder
Tech Mahindra

Private is getting more momentum now especially in bigger organisations
