Your enterprise data strategy, and how it addresses to use and migration to the cloud, depends on your business objectives. To future-proof your data architecture, you need a holistic strategy. In Australia, many organisations are opting for a multi-cloud and hybrid environment that provides flexibility, agility, and performance whilst mitigating risk, avoiding lock-in, and spiraling costs.
Whether you already have a cloud strategy in place and are well advanced in your approach or are at the early stages, we discussed:
- The evolving data landscape and its impact on those that own and manage it and those that use it.
- Critical success factors in achieving a better enterprise data strategy in a multi-cloud environment.
- Data security, governance and control across all of your environments that supports the evolving data landscape.
- Approaches to cultural change and upskilling for innovation across the organisation.
