Taking On the World via Cloud

IT - ROUNDTABLE
23 November 2022, Europe 10:00 am - 11:30 am BST
IN PARTNERSHIP

How can we unlock business value of the hybrid cloud?

Mainframe computers have driven apps for industries central to the continuing operation of the global economy. According to a report from IBM, 45 of the top 50 banks, 4 of the top 5 airlines, 7 of the top 10 global retailers, and 67 of the Fortune 100 companies leverage the mainframe as their core platform. In addition, mainframes handle almost 70% of the world’s production IT workloads.

But some organizations are deteriorating. Their leaders instantly need to ask themselves an essential question - How do I extract more value from my investment that supports my businesses processing power and the applications that house and operate its core functionality?

Join Accenture as we discuss where you are today on the journey, the desired state of your hybrid cloud and your challenges to progress. Share your own experiences and discuss best practices with industry peers in this Meet the Boss roundtable.
