Cloud is transforming all industries, so it's really fundamental to how all businesses manage their core competencies.

this is about infra/sw changes that extend the on premise datacenter to cloud for economic benefits enabling new kinds of workloads #imho

@bcwright1217 Agree outcomes are the driver and bus line mgrs are now part of the process they are input for the desired outcomes
Jeff Kelly
at its heart cloud allows enterprises to focus more on running the business and less on running the technology - it enables flexibility, adaptability and speed.
Amy Hylden Anderson
Every business becomes a tech business; eg, Amazon in retail, Zillow in real estate. And cloud is at the heart of these transformations.
John Furrier
Other transformation is top line driven not just cost savings; new workloads/apps/experiences offer new revenue opportunities for customers

We see multinational companies using it, question is, most "cloud" storage is based mainly in the US, are there companies moving their storage else where as reference to Russia/Ukraine issue?
Brendan Wright
@furrier basically no one will transform to the cloud just to do that.... the reality is the transformation is of the business to deliver better, more effective outcomes.
John Furrier
@bcwright1217 I'm not saying just for top line but bc cloud offers new economics and speed to value (agility) but outcomes will drive it for sure existing and possibly new ones

cloud transformation is a process to achieve order of magnitude improvements to a) time to market b) TCO. Customers of @altoros aim for “net new” revenue using #cloudfoundry app factories
