Are you harnessing all the power from your infrastructure and cloud to accelerate business transformation?

A Meet the Boss dinner conversation brought to you by IBM

IT leaders must balance security, with innovation and speed, and are asked to create IT environments that can adapt to a spike in workloads, interdependent applications, and more data at the edge, even as cyber-attacks, and ransomware increase. But their success is measured by what they can improve as quickly as possible, rather than long-term, strategic, and innovative investments. This often means you must work a mix of multiple clouds and on-premises infrastructure, relying heavily on your developers, engineers, and architects to keep it interconnected and secure.

Some believe moving 100% to public cloud is the only solution to innovate quickly, but it turns out the greater business value can be derived from a hybrid cloud approach. A modernized infrastructure designed with an open hybrid strategy at its core is critical for accessing and modernizing existing applications, while also building new, cloud- native container applications. IT and cloud can work together seamlessly and securely, and flexible consumption can increase capacity as needs fluctuate so teams can manage, create, and innovate for greater business value and enhanced end-user experiences.

From the entire team at Meet the Boss and IBM we look forward to hearing from you and gaining insights, while providing you the opportunity for valuable discussions around leveraging hybrid cloud to accelerate business transformation.

We hope to see you in Chicago!
