Start Your Journey to Cloud Today
Amit Walia, Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Informatica
Most businesses are going through a digital transformation. It’s a do or die. A successful transformation often means taking a journey to cloud. Across industries, companies are embracing cloud and its benefits to stay ahead of their competitors. But it isn’t a one size fits all journey. Companies need to choose their own path, and take the journey at their own pace. But there are some key considerations that all companies should keep in mind to make this journey successful. Amit Walia will share the key considerations you need to keep in mind on your journey to cloud.
Make Sure You Pack Data Management for Your Journey to Cloud
Philip Russom, Ph.D., Senior Research Director, TDWI
Your journey to cloud can take many forms. For example, you may move your whole data center or just single applications and databases. You may move existing solutions or build new green-field ones on the cloud, such as Hadoop implementations and data lakes. And you may evolve into a cloud-only architecture or one that’s a hybrid mix of multiple platforms on clouds and on premises. All of these journeys involve a migration of massive amounts of diverse data, and so require substantial data management infrastructure, tools, and best practices, during both development and production. TDWI’s Philip Russom will tell you what data management best practices to pack for success in your journey to cloud, regardless of the path you take.

Adopting a hybrid approach allows you to be flexible and pace yourself as your center of gravity shifts from on-premise to cloud.
