Cenk Ozdemir Chats about Effective Cloud Strategy

TechSpective Podcast Episode 105

It’s more or less expected that organizations are “in the cloud” these days in some way, shape, or form, but having a cloud strategy is important. In the early cloud days, moving to the cloud gave organizations a competitive advantage. At this point–with pretty much everyone in the cloud–it’s sort of the opposite. Being in the cloud is the default, and any business that is not in the cloud is simply sabotaging its own success.

That said–what does it mean, exactly, to be “in the cloud?” Just moving things to the cloud for the sake of moving them, or trying to simply move your on-premise servers, applications, and data to the cloud and continuing to do everything the same fails to understand or take advantage of the benefits of moving to the cloud. It can also get very costly, very quickly.

Cenk Ozdemir, Cloud and Data Lead with PwC, joins me for this episode of the TechSpective Podcast to talk about the results of a survey recently conducted by PwC, and the challenges and trends of cloud strategy in general.

Check out the full episode for our discussion of the PwC report, and insight from Cenk on the strategies and best practices that PwC recommends for customers to embrace the cloud strategically and take full advantage of its features and benefits.

The podcast itself is audio-only, but the video of our conversation is also available on YouTube if you prefer:
