AWS: Understand The Basics

Digital transformation goes beyond investments and discovering innovation

- Victor Yap

As the Cloud becomes more pervasive, businesses are now quick to jump onto the digital transformation bandwagon. Often times, they don’t consider what will work best for them and go with whatever they can get their hands on. For Amazon Web Services (AWS), that is a major mis-step for companies.

Before any organization considers embarking on their digital transformation, they must consider the motivating factors before taking that faithful leap. While there are various market understandings and leanings to consider, AWS believes it’s more about knowing the basics. Top-tiers among current trends include Cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT).

“When businesses consider their digital transformation process, five things must always be top-of-mind. They are: agility, cost savings, elasticity, breadth of functionalities, and rate of deployment. These factors have always been critical for businesses,” says Michael Garcia, Senior Technical Programme Manager, PMCS, AWS IoT.
