Episode Description
The Buzz: On August 20, 2014, Maamar Ferkoun (AP IBM–Cloud Computing & Cognitive Technologies) wrote, “The flexibility and scalability of the cloud acts as an ideal complement to business intelligence activities. The ‘democratization’ of the cloud is now allowing organizations that have used business intelligence with on-premises applications and on a limited scale to reach a whole new level—all through the use of storage, networking and tools that can sift through big data…” (www.ibm.com) Indeed, in the last few years, we have seen a huge adoption of cloud native applications for both edge applications and line-of-business functions, yielding new insights, business agility and lower IT costs. In addition to migrating their ERP landscapes to the cloud to achieve those benefits, companies are adopting the latest best practices to eliminate in-house customization and to bring intelligence at scale into the enterprise. Done right, this can have immense impact on the speed, agility and intelligence that companies like yours can tap into, to win market share and optimize your ecosystem of suppliers and partners. We’ll ask Allan Coulter at IBM and Christian Thisgaard at SAP for their insights on the opportunities to exploit, as well as the pitfalls to avoid, in this business transformation. Tune in for The Second Cloud Wave Is Emerging: Delivering Enterprise-Scale Intelligence.
