Virtual Roundtable: Operational Resilience and how it affects your business

September 21, 2021 

Virtual Conference

Hosted by: TEISS and The Business Reporter

Many businesses in Ireland saw the pandemic as an opportunity to accelerate their transformation plans and prepare their organisations for a more flexible working environment.

At the start of 2021, it was suggested that more than 97% of businesses now use at least one public cloud instance, with over 78% using a mix of public and private cloud services.

This move though has still brought many issues to the fore. Firstly, many IT leaders are having to handle larger than anticipated bills – not a conversation you want to be having too often with your board. In addition, the big platform providers such as AWS, Azure and Google provide services with a wide range of functionality but getting the most out of those platforms effectively can be a challenge.

During this virtual boardroom session, we’ll look at some of the key talking points as businesses continue their cloud journey including platforms, cost and resilience, plus:

• Overcoming bill shock and how to manage your environments cost effectively.
• Understanding that recovery still needs to be considered, as using multiple cloud environments does not necessarily make your infrastructure resilient.
• Choosing the right cloud for your applications
• Addressing skills gaps within your IT staff when managing public cloud environments
• Making the most of the flexibility within public cloud
