First cloud computing then multi-cloud. How can we get ahead of this digital transformation nightmare? These are the laments heard in conference rooms and board meeting around the world. While the goal seems simple, adopting and migrating to a cloud service provider requires much more than executive willingness and a sharp IT organization. A lot more!!

While many see the move to cloud computing as only the use of another data center, in reality, it will affect nearly every organizational process. The technical team, business team, procurement, and acquisition team, and even your legal team must be brought into the loop. Everyone needs to be informed, educated and updated throughout the process. Key to building consensus and teamwork requires a focus on outcomes that can align activities and deliverables across the organization’s infrastructure, operating model and applications.

Migrating to any cloud environment is taxing. Taking on the multi-cloud challenge, however, has been known to be career limiting. To avoid this scary fate, leaders must build and socialize a practical road map that envisions an end state that embraces an integrated infrastructure, operating model and application portfolio. Major dependencies between these areas can have a significant impact on the success of any digital transformation activity. Successful leaders leverage a shared vision for the organization’s target state to drive their multi-cloud strategy. In fact, in a recent study commissioned by Dell Technologies, Dell Digital Transformation Index showed that 78% of all leaders felt that digital transformation should be more widespread throughout their organization. IT transformation doesn’t just happen, and leaders are struggling with achieving organizational top goals.

To hear more about how digital transformation can help your company reinvent processes, innovate faster and create value, Dell Technologies is hosting their largest annual customer event that will showcase features that will get you on course, no matter where your company is on your journey.

Hope to see you in Las Vegas at Dell Technologies World, April 29-May 2!
