RETHINK TECHNOLOGY / Transforming Infrastructure for Agility, Automation & Scale

When organizations dedicate a large majority of their budgets and teams on the development of basic compute infrastructure, operating tools, and platforms which are readily available in the market for purchase, it takes away the most precious asset – the time and energy of its technology organization. Having more than 50% of the IT workforce dedicated to maintaining data centers and legacy applications can hardly provide the organization with much needed modern infrastructure that can scale at the speed of thought.

How do we align the entire IT and Software Engineering organizations on the most valuable portfolio of initiatives that can truly accelerate digital transformation and bring the organization closer to the customers?

The large-scale innovation during the electrification only happened after organizations abandoned their own electric generators in favor of centralized electric utilities. Cloud has become a general-purpose technology today and to keep investing in their own data centers, the organizations are wasting precious resources rather than focusing their most valuable assets on customer facing innovation.
