Whitepaper
At Glance

Cloud is more dominant than ever on the market. According to Gartner, “as cloud computing becomes more widespread through 2022, it will control an ever-increasing share of business IT choices.”

Therefore, does your company strategy centre on SAP on Cloud migration?

To prepare for the future, businesses are contemplating transferring their S/4 HANA workloads to the cloud. The CIO’s road map to the cloud extends beyond cost benefits for optimum performance and increased staff productivity. The issue over cost as the primary emphasis of cloud migration is no longer the main focus. For a successful migration, organisations need simply remember three mantras: Clarity on Requirements, Focus on Function, and Attention to Performance.

In addition, after the plan has been formulated, enterprises must choose the appropriate cloud platform and partner to fulfil the promise.

63% of enterprises are currently on Microsoft Azure and 61% of enterprises expect to invest more in Azure in 2021.

That is because Azure offers a wide range of services, provides greater flexibility, ensures total control over infrastructure and resources business deploy as compared to on-premises systems or other clouds. With Azure, enterprises can spontaneously adapt to the evolving needs of their business.

Cost Optimization on the Azure Cloud

Managing the expenses of this adaptable infrastructure may be difficult, though. Managing resource consumption on Azure involves a comprehensive grasp of the platform and its services, pricing structures, monitoring tools, best practises, and more; in short, a plan for cost optimization. Your Azure expenditures may rapidly spin out of control in the absence of a predefined plan.

Going Beyond Lift
and Shift:
Enterprise
Guide to Lift & Optimize

Whitepaper
At Glance

84% of firms polled by Bain & Company in 2019 stated that their on-premises workloads were over-provisioned. Until recently, this was the sole method for preventing system failures or unforeseen spikes in demand. In 2021, however, enterprises can no longer afford such supplementary resource capabilities due to cloud computing.

Migrating corporate workloads is easier said than done. Among the five migration strategies, Lift and Shift is the most popular due to its low risk and quick time to production. However, the need for faster innovation, real-time response, and minimal downtime is compelling businesses to look beyond Lift and Shift for an approach that will help them optimise their existing infrastructure, applications, and workloads while migrating to the cloud, also known as Lift and Optimize.

In contrast to Lift and Shift, Lift and Optimize is an intelligent and optimised technique for transferring on-premises applications and workloads to the cloud. While Lift and Shift generates identical clones of workloads in the cloud, Lift and Optimize modifies an organization’s underlying infrastructure by selecting the optimal instance type and storage capacity based on use history. The plan is virtually always adapted to the precise demands of the organisation, and it guarantees genuine cost savings by optimising computer and storage capacity.

As a leader in cloud services, CDWT has played a crucial role in the cloud migration journey of organisations. Using their extensive knowledge in corporate cloud migration, our specialists identified best practises, areas of risk, use cases, a successful roadmap, and more in order to compile a thorough handbook.

Compliance as a Service
For Cloud Banking and Finance

According to a recent survey, companies spend an average of $3.25 for each dollar lost to financial crime. The BFSI sector, which is still grappling with the financial effects of the pandemic, faces a grave danger from the high cost of non-compliance, as well as the reputational and operational problems connected with it.

How can BFSI firms survive and grow in this era of diminishing resources, sophisticated attacks, escalating geopolitical tensions, and expanding regulations? In addition to fostering a culture of compliance, experts recommend adjusting an organization’s entire compliance strategy with a comprehensive, methodical, risk-based approach.

Compliance as a Service (CaaS) has emerged as a relief, as its primary objective is to alleviate the burden on enterprises by defining, managing, and optimising the internal processes and governance framework in order to maintain compliance requirements across a wide range of regulations and standards.

This whitepaper examines the key aspects of Compliance as a Service for banking and finance while keeping an eye on the present and future regulatory landscape, what to expect from CaaS offerings, how to choose the right CaaS partner, and more to help BFSI bodies navigate the challenging terrain of global compliance, build a failsafe strategy, and more.
