CEO
Competitive pressure driving digital
transformation
“The business environment today is pushing
companies to respond to ever increasing competition.
In order to remain competitive, they have to deliver
their services faster, at greater scale, and do so
efficiently in order to remain profitable.
These demands drive application developers to create
new applications and deliver them faster.
This further places stress on the IT Operations team
who has to provide a scalable, on-demand
infrastructure that can service the Developers.”
