Distributed cloud architectures will play an important role in Communication Service Providers’ network transformations. The distributed cloud will be made of numerous edge locations, from the customer premises to mobile base stations to central offices, each of which has its benefits and constraints. CSPs will need to consider attributes such as performance, availability, security, integration, and data and traffic volume to optimize the infrastructure for a myriad of workloads. Learn more about Heavy Reading’s survey results on CSPs adopting a distributed cloud strategy and delivering new services in this white paper.

AP automation is often described as low hanging fruit in the garden of digital transformation. And for a good reason – the barrier to entry is impressively low in terms of both cost and effort needed to get up and running, particularly in comparison to the implementation projects for other business applications. Despite that fact, the value provided from AP automation is comparably high. For such an easy implementation, the benefits reach throughout an organization, beyond the walls of the AP department, and are near-immediate from day one of using the solution. Standard benefits include: - Immediate value from day one with an expected ROI within the first year - Up to 95% truly touchless invoice processing with access to real-time cloud data for benchmarking and reporting - Easy access to financial data, such as cash flow & accrual reporting, with full visibility and control of the AP process This guide will help you kick-start your AP automation project by defining the 6 steps to build a solid business case and gain the internal approvals needed to get started.

For many enterprises, cloud migration is attractive for two key reasons: greater agility and lower cost. However, the jury is still out when it comes to the financial benefits. In this webinar, KPMG’s Adrian Bradley, Head of Technology Architecture, and Emma Bisset, Senior Manager, CIO Advisory at KPMG UK, explore the reasons why. Listen to this webinar now to find out: • What leading IT decision makers told KPMG about their experience of cloud costs • Why organisations are failing to realise economic value from their cloud investments • What key levers your organisation can use to extract significant cost savings from existing deployments.

An introduction to the Forrester analyst report: How to Capture the Benefits of Microservice Design There has always been a relationship between an application and the platform and services which run it. For a long time, that relationship was very tight and encompassed a lot of areas related to the application design, from the language the application could be written in to administrative behaviors like monitoring and logging, even things like transaction management, frontend UI development, or integration methods. In a sense, the application platform was just another design consideration for the application. A few years ago, as significant changes in platform technology like cloud, containers, and virtual machines started rolling out, the primary emphasis for CTOs and application architects was on how to move to those platforms. The platform choice was a major part of the application. The focus was — one way or another — getting into “the cloud.” There’s been a shift in customers’ pri

Government agencies often look to promote new technology for cost-savings and efficiency, but it does not stop there. The second and third-tier effects of technology can be long lasting for citizens, businesses, and economies. When public institutions adopt the cloud, they experience an internal transformation. Inside an organization, cloud usage drives greater accessibility of data and information sharing, increases worker productivity, and improves resource allocation. The external benefit of the cloud is recognized through a government’s ability to put reclaimed time and resources toward serving citizens. This includes provisioning public services, such as occupational-skills training, quicker and more effective service delivery, a pathway to a more productive workforce, and ultimately, a boost to local development. This whitepaper examines the enterprise-level benefits of the cloud, as well as the residual impact on economic development. The U.S. Economic Development Administration

Containers have become the new infrastructure standard for development teams. While the “DIY container approach” (un-orchestrated containers) still has its use cases (e.g. low latency, longer compute jobs, predictable traffic), production-grade deployments require orchestration. DevOps teams are increasingly leveraging the benefits of Kubernetes and accelerating its adoption, taking it from a 27% adoption rate in 2018 to a 48% adoption rate in 2019 according to the RightScale “2019 State of the Cloud Report,” from Flexera. The same report also positions Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) as one of the fastest-growing managed Kubernetes offerings available, with a 44% adoption rate. Previously, containers were a technology deployed by individual teams – and were typically used for “application testing” in the enterprise world. Today, many organizations are now not only seeing the benefits of operationalizing containers to deploy production applications, but also re-positioni

"IT needs to reach beyond the traditional data center and the public cloud to form and manage a hybrid connected system stretching from the edge to the cloud, wherever the cloud may be. We believe this is leading to a new period of disruption and development that will require organizations to rethink and modernize their infrastructure more comprehensively than they have in the past. Hybrid cloud and hybrid cloud management will be the key pillars of this next wave of digital transformation – which is on its way much sooner than many have so far predicted. They have an important role to play as part of a deliberate and proactive cloud strategy, and are essential if the full benefits of moving over to a cloud model are to be fully realized."
