Cloud… Elevate to Innovate
Overcoming the challenges of cloud migration and benefits of moving to the AWS platform
The hybrid cloud ecosystem is evolving to a point where private cloud, public cloud co-exist with on-premise IT infrastructure. 80% organizations in the Middle East are expected to have more than one cloud platform by the end of 2021. Lack of talent availability and inability to create a cloud adoption road map are on-going challenges. Working with a qualified cloud partner to plan out your cloud journey and accelerate the milestones can avoid typical pitfalls and generate better ROI.
Join us for an in-person roundtable at “Ara Meeting Room, 4th Floor, Address Dubai Marina, Dubai – UAE“, while networking with cloud solutions specialists from AWS and Zero&One, and consulting company IDC.
