Fortune 500 businesses are set to benefit from a collaboration between Deloitte, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS) and SAP. Their partnership aims at delivering public cloud-based in-memory analytics. The expectation in this is to have many more enterprises reduce the difficulties of shifting production workloads to the public cloud.
The joint efforts anticipate bringing on board not less than 2,500 practitioners. The consulting giant says that this will be instrumental in expanding its cloud capabilities through the AWS cloud practice. Being able to achieve digital transformation is of the essence according to national managing principal, technology at Deloitte Consulting, Craig Hodgetts.
He says, “A key focus of our AWS collaboration is to accelerate clients’ digital core transformation through SAP S/4 Hana to modernise their ERP [enterprise resource planning] technology and de-risk cloud migrations.”
The collaboration will focus on changing how businesses work
The consultants will implore the use of powerful insights-based outcomes. They expect this to help their clients have a changeover of how they handle their businesses. Hodgetts points out that they will be spending in putting together not less than 20 preconfigured industry-specific analytics solutions.
The principal for Deloitte Consulting, Matt Law further confirms that their objective is to have their clients view cloud as an unavoidable trigger for change in their businesses. Hence it should not just be viewed as another technology gimmick.
The business requirement for agility could drive greater adoption of the cloud
Chances are high that many businesses will adopt the cloud concept. After all who does not want to associate with agility in their business? It is no longer a question of how safe cloud is, but how fast can I get there and especially for business start-ups.
Apparently, it is not the first time that Deloitte and AWS are putting their expertise together. They have previously worked together in a number of core industry sectors the likes of blockchain technologies, thus they have a legacy.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s stock closed at $842.70 witnessing an increase of $6.31 or 0.75%.
