Wege in die Cloud: Mit Sicherheit was Neues wagen

Successful cloud implementation is about new ways of shaping our business future – not only in IT but in all branches. While trust in privacy & security is key to leverage our digital transformation, the corresponding IT-strategy and solutions are only half of our pathway to this future. The so called “disruption” is not about technology. It’s vastly about the willingness and ability to address and realize new business opportunities. Often related to cultural challenges and new mindsets.
