Promo Making the leap onto the cloud is no simple task, but once you’re there, you can pause for breath. Can’t you?
Well, no. If you really want that cloud migration to become a full-blown digital transformation, there are many more challenges to deal with.
In fact, a recent commissioned Forrester Consulting study on behalf of cloud consultants and MSP Xtravirt and VMware – Optimise Your Cloud Management Strategy and Succeed - found that 80% of organisations said dealing with ongoing cloud management was holding them back from fully realising their digital transformation goals.
[1]
After all, the challenges you face running your infrastructure on-prem don’t simply evaporate when you hit the cloud. Someone still has to take care of operational management, as well as governance, security and data protection.

[3]
And the cloud is not static. You have to consider how you evolve the platform while at the same time guarding against service sprawl and runaway pricing.
None of this is trivial, and you may quickly find yourself scrabbling to find suitably skilled people to support your ongoing cloud efforts. So how are organisations finding a way through these challenges? Well, you can find out by joining this [4]Executive Briefing from Xtravirt and VMware, on June 30 from 0930 to 1030 BST.
[5]
Xtravirt CEO Gavin Jolliffe and Strategic Services Director Robin Gardner will be joined by VMware CTO EMEA Joe Baguley, to dissect the findings of the study and highlight how the smartest organisations are dealing with the reality of cloud management.
They’ll explain the factors driving cloud adoption, and what the state of the art is when it comes to hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. They’ll also tackle the barriers businesses face to realising the full benefit of cloud adoption, and, crucially, examine a range of approaches to break through these.
And they’ll explain how the role of managed service providers is changing, as they evolve to help organisations not just adopt multi-cloud but manage it going forward.
[6]
The Executive Briefing will end with an interactive live Q&A, so that you can get your questions answered by the experts.
So, whether you’re contemplating the cloud, have made the first move and are wondering what comes next, or want to turbocharge your existing multi-cloud strategy, just head [7]here to register and find out how your peers are already doing just that.
