Cloud strategies to thrive in a post-pandemic world

What's up for cloud post-pandemic? Embracing new technologies and ways of working

There’s little doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated cloud adoption, but many companies still face significant barriers to cloud. In this episode, David Linthicum and guests, Deloitte’s Ranjit Bawa and VMware’s Ajay Patel, discuss Deloitte’s alliance with VMware and how companies can make cloud adoption easier by overcoming cloud barriers. They also talk about how—even during the midst of the pandemic—organizations can begin to chart a path to growth and agility in the new normal that will emerge. Hint: it’s about finding the right partner on the journey, embracing new technologies (like edge computing), addressing talent barriers, and creating ways of doing business.

We're in the midst of this big shift to modern technology and modern delivery. The intersection of business and tech and realizing the art of the possible is what's most exciting.
