Accenture is a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security with a presence in more than 120 countries creating value and shared success for their clients, people, shareholders, partners, and communities.
In the age of the new normal, more organisations are moving into cloud, but the challenge remains where many fails to fully realise the business value from their cloud initiatives. According Accenture’s recent study, companies are yet to achieve their full value realisation even though they have consistently been investing in Cloud technology. Specifically in Asia Pacific, despite relatively strong adoption, most companies are not using the power of cloud to develop new offerings, or to transform their marketing and sales functions.
Ryoji-Sekido, Senior Managing Director, Accenture Technology Lead for Japan, China, Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East and Executive Vice President, Accenture Japan Ltd., says being “Cloud-first” is the way forward especially considering the rapid adoption that was a major digital transformation enabler for many enterprises. He explains what it means to be a business in cloud and maximise the value of cloud.
Ryoji also talks about the collaboration with Rakuten Mobile, and how Accenture helps them to fully build a virtualised mobile network by leveraging on cloud.
Furthermore, he talks about:
- How Accenture has helped clients around the region since the pandemic hit and especially with digital transformation being the mantra for businesses around the world.
- The key execution challenges.
- How organisations can maximise the potential of cloud to get the most out of their cloud investments.
- The key business challenges for businesses overall in 2022.
- Primary concerns of CIOs in 2022.
- Key factors organisations need to consider in their cloud migration strategies and digital transformation journey.
