In the modern business world, there is no digital strategy without a cloud technology.
It is possible to say that there is no business strategy without a cloud technology. Cloud technologies have become the foundation of enterprises'agendas and the key to achieving sustinable growth. Serving as a unifying digital center that embodies many other technologies, over the years the cloud has accelerated digital transformation and business transformation. The fact that during the pandemic entire economies transitioned to cloud-based, contactless ways of buying and selling is sufficient evidence.
The next major wire wave of business innovation, growth, and transformation, based on the cloud 2.0 is more about solving tasks necessary for enterprises to achieve their goals than IT infrastructure. This involves stimulating game-changing innovations and synergy between ecosystems across industries.
"Peripheral innovations" play a central role in this Cloud 2.0 transformation.
Utilizing cloud capabilities in applications, data infrastructure, machinery learning- all at the edge. Think of data processing right where actions take palce- on the production line or a offshore wind power plant, rather than at a central command post. Indeed, the true impact of Cloud 2.0 can be seen in how it provides a new level of edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), or Internet of Things for business innovations.
Firstly, organizations focus on medernizing core technologies( infrastructure,applications,and data), while simultaneously shifting workloads to the cloud to achieve greater elasticity and fault tolerance. In the second stage, they leverage cloud capabilities for business innovations. This horizon is largely driven by innovative thinking and integartion of best practices from various industries into the operational model. the third horizon, a higher order of transformation and more complex to achieve, involves gaining exponentional value through organizing or participating in horizontal ecosystems.
With a powerful digital core, companies can use the cloud to expand existing products and services and drive growth. They can engage consumers in a new ways by connecting additional gigital channels. They can gain revolutionary insights through braoder use of intelligent analytics in the cloud. They can change business processes to enhance efficiency and improve customer and employee service quality. And thanks to cloud capabilities, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or low/zero-code solutions,they can create an environment of flexible innovations where anyone with an interesting idea can bring it to life.
While the cloud was previously seen as a means to ensure the future technological infrastructure of enterprises, today it is a means to ensure the future of the business itself.
Cloud technologies were initially considered a way to enhance resilience and reduce costs through models like pay-as-you-go. Today, they are recognized as a way to achieve faster marjet entry, quicker response to customer requests, as well as rapid innovation and development of new business models.
They inherit the capabilities of the cloud hold exponential potential for innovation and business growth-companies have only tapped into a small fraction of the possibilities. This can already be seen in many areas:
1. New business models and products. Consider how cloud platforms enable the transition from products to product as-a-service. Or how they help enterpreuneurs in small towns and villages find customers thousands of miles away from them. Cloud platforms have become te foundation of an organizations innovation strategy. Whether its an application or business model development, these platforms create new opportunities, just as this legendary global company providing financial services did. The company shifted from having its business model disrupted by new competitors to becoming an industry revolutionary, offering new services such as regulatory compliance and risk management consulting services in addition to cross-border money transfers through cloud services.
2. Enhancing customer service quality. The implementation of cloud platforms, manyof which are designed for multi-channel communication, helps companies better support customers. This enables them to reduce customer wait times and improve interactions.
