Select ecosystem to match
business priorities
Choose appropriate app store for cloud software (Microsoft Azure or AWS Marketplace) or business
applications (Microsoft Appsource) as required
If your business prefers control over the
virtual cloud environment, select AWS.
If you only want control over the application
software, opt for Azure.
If yours is a small or medium-sized
business, many out-of-the-box solutions
and open-source software are available for
further customisation if desired.
If your business is transitioning to the
cloud, ‘managed’ apps offer better
consistency and compliance but cost more.
If you are migrating from one public cloud
to another, ensure tools and services are
available to minimise disruption.
6. First steps to cloud
app empowerment
Public cloud providers remove the complexity
involved with app development time and lack of
manpower expertise
Adopting the public cloud ecosystem shores up
confidence in undertaking digital transformation
in spite of risks and costs
Failure to plug into the ecosystem is
unproductive and risky in the face of digital
disruption if the business is wholly dependent
on private infrastructure exclusively
Work with a trusted partner such as Singtel
Cloud to help you with cloud advisory, migration
and managed services to drive agility and
operational efficiencies for your business.
