Companies involved in developing software for automotive, transportation, aerospace, defense and medical device applications must be able to innovate quickly to meet market demands — while navigating financial pressures, global supply chain disruptions, expectations for resilience, and regulatory compliance for safety and security. Furthermore, technology across industries expect software applications to be accessible anytime, anywhere.
To meet these demands, support rapid innovation and help their businesses thrive in this era of digital transformation, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers in automotive, medical device and other regulated industries are adopting cloud capabilities.
Businesses face many decisions on their cloud migration journey, including which migration approach (repost, re-platform, rearchitect, retire, repurchase) to take and what specific modernization strategies to implement to optimize efficiencies (such as serverless computing, containers, managed data and DevOps). Each decision can impact businesses’ ability to reap the benefits of cloud migration and overall return on investment (ROI).
However, decision makers often lack sufficient knowledge of cloud infrastructure. They may be overwhelmed by the rapidly advancing technology and the high degree of complexity of distributed systems and tech stacks. As they research options, they may struggle to choose the best fit for their company among the many, seemingly similar, cloud providers available. Furthermore, companies may run into difficulties determining the correct resource allocation and usage, or they may discover that trying to exactly replicate on-premise systems leads to scalability issues in the future.
