Ep. 2: The Cloud Journey Today – CIMdata’s Mark Reisig Explains the Popularity and Advantages of Being in the Cloud
Let’s talk about cloud adoption. In the last couple of years we have seen a massive migration to the cloud. Clearly, there’s been a turning point. While some companies and enterprises are quick to realize the advantages, the laggards remain. Is it because of security? Infrastructure issues? Costs? The simple explanation is it’s not just one issue but a combination of reasons.
In this second episode of Cloud Talk Today, your host, Scott Salzwedel is joined by Mark Reisig of CIMdata. Mark brings a deep and well-researched understanding to why users are moving to the cloud, but also why we still have doubters.
This episode touches on how the Siemens and AWS collaboration has addressed the fear and apprehension to cloud adoption and how our collaboration makes it easy for users to take that first step. You’ll learn about some of the popular and proven cloud solutions currently in play.
And what role does Software as a Service (SaaS) have in the digital transformation anyway?
