Big Data Analysis
Quick Cloud Assessment Let’s evaluate where you’re at and if cloud solutions might be a good fit. • Where do your applications currently sit? • How do users access these applications? • If you move some workloads to the cloud, what will that do for your employees and customers? • How has the pandemic changed your needs?
