Stop Cloud Migration Disappointment: Transform with Automation

With Artificial intelligence at the peak of its hype cycle, how do you know what can be operationalised in your organisation and what should just be left on the hype pile?  

While AI initiatives are getting the attention of business leaders, organisations still need to maintain and modernise their existing application landscape or risk falling behind the competition today. Increasing complexity, more risks, rising costs and skills shortages are compounding the decisions IT leaders have to make on a daily basis. 

But is it possible to do both - Invest in AI initiatives and app modernisation with minimal compromises?
