Assembling your cloud orchestra

IBM logo

Operating in a multicloud environment is a reality for most enterprise functions today, though too often it happens in silos. Whether it’s human resources recruiting candidates, manufacturing tracking shipments or marketing enticing customers, business units often circumvent their own IT departments to directly access services on the cloud.

Instead of ignoring or attempting to stifle organisational forays onto multiple clouds, IT needs to get better at facilitating, orchestrating and optimising enterprise multicloud footing. Enterprises that assemble harmonised multicloud platforms now can position themselves for greater competitive advantage and lower costs. But it won’t be easy.

Here we provide a field guide outlining challenges, benefits and a clear path to successful multicloud management.
