Cloud has many complexities today. When a customer ends up embarking on a journey of digital transformation, he has to keep a number of things in mind - is he going to do a lift and shift completely or is he looking at a hybrid cloud strategy for his company, is the application going to serve my business needs without compromising on my productivity by taking all the security aspects, is my application going to be compliant in the way it was compliant in the non-cloud environment, what are the external and the internal factors that are going to affect my digital transformation, have I taken care of all the SLAs signed with my vendors and providers, how do I take care of my employees and still manage the changes that this new environment will give rise to. These all are the concerns of anyone who has been struggling to adopt digital transformation. At Crayon, through all our products and services, we partner with the customers and help them in their entire journey of digital transformation.
All of us know that digital transformation starts with taking the assessment of what is installed already, what is the software inventory I have, what is my effective licensing position, what is my cloud spend today? So, Crayon gets involved and does an assessment while doing a first level of discussion with the customer. Then we ensure that we do a proper discussion and do an assessment and migrate your workloads to the cloud. The cloud adoption or digital transformation is not a point in game. It is a continuous process. Besides migrating to the cloud, we also ensure how we can accelerate the cloud adoption in the organization. Once the cloud adoption happens, you create tons and tons of data. The next task therefore is how to get insights into the data. So, with our platforms, we help our customers become a data driven enterprise. But our job doesn't stop there. Once the customer becomes a data driven enterprise, artificial intelligence comes into play. We infuse AI into the solution we provide so that the customer is always able to make a well-informed decision.”
