How an open, connected, intelligent, and scalable cloud can help with Azure Cloud Transformation

Businesses today strive to be more intuitive, responsive, agile, and efficient—in a word, more intelligent. At the heart of this enhanced 'intelligence' that transforms a standard business into a visionary enterprise are technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, smart contracts, virtual/augmented reality, and intelligent infrastructure. This competitive advantage can only be obtained through the use of an 'Intelligent Cloud.'

Companies have been increasingly migrating data, applications, and development work to the cloud in recent years, a trend that has accelerated since the pandemic sparked an increase in remote work and eCommerce operations.

Organizations are establishing or expanding hybrid-cloud strategies in greater numbers than ever before as they advance in their digital transformation journey and deal with the additional problems imposed by the global health crisis and its influence on business processes.

However, operating and administering an environment backed by many cloud solution providers and services has unique issues. IT and business leaders must solve these challenges if their firms are to prosper in a multi or hybrid cloud era.

Cloud computing represents a significant departure from the traditional way that businesses think about IT resources. Here are seven of the most common reasons why businesses are turning to cloud computing services:

•  Cost
•  Speed
•  Scalability
•  Productivity
•  Performance
•  Reliability
•  Security
