Gigabit Magazine – August 2019

he enterprise is entering a new “post-digi-

tal” era, where success will be based on

how companies can apply new technol-

ogies in people-centric ways, creating personal-

ised experiences for customers, employees and

business partners. As technological innovation

continues to accelerate – with new, more powerful

solutions coming to market on an almost daily basis

• few people could be blamed for feeling like dino-
  saurs, watching all the other animals board an Ark
  with ‘cloud’ written on the side of it. However, while
  the vast majority of companies have begun their
  digital transformation journeys, such as migration
  to the public cloud, the collective journey is still very
  much in its early stages. “75-80% of all enterprises
  are doing cloud in various shapes or forms, but
  if you look at how much of their estates they’ve
  actually migrated or leveraged into cloud, it’s still
  fairly small,” comments Philippe Chauffard, Manag-
  ing Director of Accenture’s Intelligent Cloud Infra-
  structure division. “While everybody is doing it,
  a lot of people are still in the early stages.”
