Digital Leadership Roundtable: Executing a cloud native strategy

Wednesday, December 9, 2020 4:00pm to 5:00pm

Virtual

Becoming a cloud native telco is not easy. The journey requires more than IT and technology and includes changes in everything from culture to best practices to business models, and there is not a one-size-fit all approach when it comes to moving from monolithic architectures to agile methodologies and infrastructures.

During this roundtable, Vodafone will explore the key take aways and learnings from Digital Transformation World Series to implement into Vodafone’s Tech2025 strategy. Hear the latest case study from Verizon about their own migration and during a panel discussion explore the blueprint needed to go cloud native from barriers, investment, business case and ROI period.

This session will give you the valuable insights needed to implement a cloud native strategy. If you are interested in attending, please email [email protected].
