Pick a Framework, and stick with it

Global Marketing Confidential 20

Standardize on an Architecture, not just a Platform

Global Marketing Confidential 21

Do “something”

How do you know that your Cloud solution is obsolete?

The Cloud eco-system is changing incredibly fast. Focus on what business value you can get today,

not promises about tomorrow.
