In today's competitive world, the agility of a business depends on the agility of it's IT. Enterprises need to be fast and nimble to deliver on any task/project using managed, outsourced, private cloud or public cloud. Are enterprises prepared for this kind of agility? What changes to enterprise DNA are required in to adopt and flourish using this hybrid delivery model?

Cloud Computing has been around long enough for us to have ironed out most of the kinks and is quickly becoming part of our enterprise computing DNA. But does that mean most of us have aced the Cloud Computing paradigm or that we use the mature technology to its best advantage? If we fail at using it properly, then where are we and what do we need to do to get to the next level? Is there a clearly defined ONE cloud maturity model we can follow, that has established benchmarks?

Three security issues loom large over the future of Cloud Computing: 1) Will corporate IT security policies still apply to the applications and services delivered via the cloud? 2) How will a CIO prove to management and clients that the company’s applications and services are as secure as before the cloud and meeting all SLAs? 3) Will security be robust enough to pass any compliance audits required? Only when each of these 3 concerns can be answered with a resounding “YES!”, will cloud computing be finally considered secure. Meanwhile, what will IT leaders and vendors have to consider, change, revamp, or manage differently in order to achieve this end goal?

In planning your application and infrastructure environment, an essential step is to determine their cloud suitability. How do you go about determining that? Since each application and infrastructure element may have its unique provisioning needs, how do you transform or modernize these elements to run on one cloud foundation? Can you plan all this upfront or have to play it by ear as you unearth the intricacies?

Cloud Computing, Big Data and mobility arguably share similar intrinsic features such as distribution, and geographical dispersion. How can you utilize these common intrinsic features to invite Big Data and mobility into your organization, leveraging an existing cloud infrastructure, at a low risk, low cost and with high resilience to meet changing business demand?

Traditionally, cloud has been seen as having major security vulnerabilities. Is it now possible to ensure that corporate and customer data is protected when used over public and private cloud services? What new security policies and architectures actually take advantage of cloud delivery in order to increase the levels of security?

With rampant use of legacy further compounded by isolated use of best-of-breed point solutions (often Software-as-a-Service), we may be unintentionally losing the enterprise perspective much needed to realize the Patient Centered Care (PCC) dream. Do/should you have a “Best-of-breed OR Enterprise Strategy” or a “Best-of-breed AND Enterprise Strategy”? How do you manage and govern?

How Smarter Are Smart Cities Now?

The year 2020 taught us a lot. We became candid and openly vulnerable among our peers.

How can we sustain this creativity and persistence and emerge from the crisis to build a long-term advantage for the business?
