Cloud services

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services (including hardware, software, analytics, intelligence and more) over the internet to allow organizations to innovate faster, better manage resources, and achieve greater economies of scale. Cloud computing also offers the opportunity to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI to create new solutions, optimize processes, and enhance customer experiences. However, moving to and running on cloud platforms is not a simple task. It requires a strategic approach, a reliable and secure cloud ecosystem, and an optimized target operating model.
