Mastering SQL Server Modernisation Achieving Efficiency & Innovation with Azure

Cloud migration has become an indispensable strategy for businesses, especially during crises such as the pandemic, natural disasters, or economic downturns. According to a recent study by Gartner, "By 2025, 80% of enterprises will migrate entirely away from on-premises data centers, with the current trend of moving workloads to colocation, hosting, and the cloud leading them to shut down their traditional data center." 

The cloud offers flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness to keep operations running smoothly. But, how can you effectively migrate to the cloud during an economic crisis, and achieve more with less when budgets are tight, client expectations are rising, and the availability of cloud talent and skills remains a challenge?

Join Ensono cloud experts as they share their insights on how your Azure cloud migration can enable you to do more with less and meet increasing demands for innovation and customer satisfaction.

Discover how to optimise and modernise your cloud migration, reduce costs, improve agility, enhance security, and achieve better business outcomes with your cloud migration.

An efficient technology vendor portfolio can make a significant difference in supporting your organization’s prioritized projects and daily operations, not to mention achievement of your business goals and objectives. However, many organizations don’t have the expertise or resources to keep track of software and hardware vendors and negotiate contract renewals. Effective contract analysis and execution can eliminate redundant products, supply more business flexibility and control rising costs. We’re sharing real real-world advice on contract reviews, negotiation strategies, license consolidation and specific issue resolution to help improve your current technology spend, minimize future increases, prepare for audit defense, and issue RFPs.

4 Ways to Control Current & Future Spending with Technology Vendors

State and local governments have a tremendous opportunity to better serve their residents with technology.

Data Center Modernization: The Tyranny of "OR"

When we speak of innovation we invariably default to conversations about technology and how and where it can change our organisations, but true innovation requires creative, original thinking to create the innovative ideas in the first place. It is said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process and expecting a different result. The same applies to how we think. We need a different approach to enable innovation.

Join us in this webinar to explore how different approaches to organisational thinking can unlock potential within your organisation and release the potential for greater innovation.

The Future of Innovation: Changing the Mindset

Find out how organisations uncover the multiple layers to understand what is driving mainframe utilisation and the applications that drive peak spikes. Understanding and predicting the application usage impact on your mainframe is a driving force. 
Using a forecasting model based on seasonality, organisational data, understanding the size of the applications running on the mainframe, and when it executes over a 24-hour day - the impact can be accurately predicted and verified with each application. 
The forecast model allows organisations running a mainframe to know specifically what week in the year they can expect to see the application re-platforming impact. These insights allow organisations to budget and plan well in advance of the strategic moves, achieve cost optimization, efficiencies and more. Watch the webinar to find out more on mainframe predictability with Linda Carroll from Ensono.
