Unlock the full potential of digital transformation with an edge-to-cloud operating model

[IanJagger]

The public cloud revolution has left many companies’ digital ambitions largely unfulfilled. An edge-to-cloud operating model can take you places where the cloud can’t.

When the rise of the public cloud broke down the barriers between people and technology, it didn’t just change how businesses access technology – it changed how they do things. It changed the operating model.

In doing so, cloud opened the door to a new kind of IT. But it left unspecified and unexplored the connection between the new operating model and the business model. As a result, digital transformation often extended no further than systems optimization. Enterprises were left struggling to realize the full scope of their digital ambitions.

In a recent CIO.com article, I explained how a new paradigm – the edge-to-cloud operating model – pushes beyond cloud’s limitations, opening the door to truly transformative change: Unlocking the Full Potential of an Edge-to-Cloud Operating Model. Check out the article to learn:

• How some of the big hyperscalers define ‘cloud operating model,’ and how these views implicitly impose restrictions on digital transformation
• How the edge-to-cloud operating model connects the infrastructure model all the way through to the business model, going far beyond optimization to full transformation
• How an edge-to-cloud framework encompasses a range of essential dimensions, including redefining the customer experience and establishing a culture of innovation that leverages real-time intelligence.

Is public cloud, the great disruptor, on the cusp of becoming the disrupted? Time will tell, but for now there’s no reason why enterprises should have to fit their digitization efforts into the cloud mold when there’s a better alternative.
