How can the right strategies help you modernize for innovation?

And welcome to this Meet the Boss event in partnership with IBM.

As we know, rapid changes in the world over the last few years are impacting IT in a very profound way. IT strategies are shifting to serve an increasingly always-on world, and for many organizations this has meant accelerating digital transformation efforts.

Some believe that moving 100% to public cloud is the only solution to innovate quickly, but it turns out that 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.
To that extent, managing and modernizing critical processes and operations remain top priorities for IT leaders who want to find new ways to gain advantage and opportunity in a fluctuating environment. The question for your business, then, is how do you know when it’s time to modernize an application? Where do you start, and what are the best ways to make a business case for the investment in modernization?

Over the course of this evening, we will discuss ideas of what are the best practices for building modern applications in an incremental, safe and economically sound manner while also learning how to avoid some of the common pitfalls that enterprises fall victim to so that you know what to keep an eye out for as you embark on this modernization journey.

From the entire team at Meet the Boss and IBM we look forward to hearing your thoughts and providing you with the right discussions to keep you on course, every course.

We hope to see you in Atlanta!
