The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on businesses with enterprises accelerating digital transformation at an unforeseen speed. The crisis brought into front and centre the technologies that became the backbone for remote work, online collaboration and production continuity and cloud computing tops the list.

In the current uncertain context, creating efficiencies and driving business agility is essential not only to improve operational capabilities and reduce costs but also to develop business models that will open up revenue-generating opportunities in the next digital normal. As companies plan their way forward, it is now more essential than ever to quickly identify where technology priorities and investments need to be placed and how to meet the needs of new business realities with limited resources. What are the key areas that leading companies are prioritising to achieve these objectives and what solutions, tools and services are being put forward to modernise existing IT infrastructure? What are the best practices in migrating to the cloud? How can this technology be embraced by leveraging available resources and without disrupting existing IT landscape? What are the challenges and limitations?

The Financial Times, in partnership with CTS, present this executive webinar session that examined operational efficiency best practices and discussed solutions and tools to develop an IT architecture for agility, flexibility and cost reduction. It explored the potential, obstacles and benefits of adopting cloud technology and analysed the factors senior executives must consider whether they are migrating to the cloud or driving its scalability and maturity.
