Cloud Transformations: A Provider’s Guide

Most providers have completed the initial steps of their cloud journey. Their cloud experience is transitioning from cloud adoption into a complete transformation of their technology and related processes. Providers are now moving to a cloud-first strategy, one where data centers will reside entirely on some form of the cloud. As a result, timelines are accelerating and many providers expect to be completely cloud-first in the next 12-24 months. Join this webinar and learn the latest findings from the third annual HIMSS survey of cloud usage among providers.

This session will explore a number of vital questions about cloud usage and migration including:

What does cloud adoption look like today?
What has changed in terms of cloud migration in the last few years?
What challenges are providers facing with cloud migration now?
How are providers tackling the challenges of cloud transformation?
What functions have providers already moved to the cloud? And which ones are next?
What roles do public cloud, hybrid cloud and multi-cloud approaches play in cloud transformation?
