Join this live session with Magnus Mårtensson ft. Mads Kempel Sørensen for the next episode of The Cloud Show with Magnus Mårtensson on August 27, at 01:05 PM (EST). The show explores cloud leadership and addresses the key questions surrounding cloud projects. Indeed, many aspects of a company's success in the cloud are related to technology. However, there are many additional matters, adjacent to technology, that we also need to tend to regarding business strategy, human resources, organizational change, planning for a technical cloud approach, and many more questions. These conversations are crucial for maintaining a healthy cloud and for implementing a swift and accurate cloud approach. GUEST SPEAKER Dynamic and results-driven senior technology executive with 19+ years of experience leading IT, digital transformation and enterprise modernization. With a hands-on background in architecture and engineering, combined with an Executive MBA, I bridge deep technical expertise with business strategy, change management and financial oversight. ⚡Download Sharp Rewards Wallet to earn Rewards: (200 bonus on using this link) http://invite.sharpplatform.com/VirtualConf 📺 CSharp TV - Dev Streaming Destination http://csharp.tv 🌎 C# Corner - Community of Software and Data Developers https://www.c-sharpcorner.com #CSharpTV #csharpcorner #TheCloudShow #CSharp #Interview

you again. Yeah,
2:55
you again. Yeah, >> absolutely. To totally good to see you
2:56
>> absolutely. To totally good to see you
2:56
>> absolutely. To totally good to see you as well. So, so let's talk about this um
2:59
as well. So, so let's talk about this um
2:59
as well. So, so let's talk about this um a company that is going to the cloud or
3:02
a company that is going to the cloud or
3:02
a company that is going to the cloud or going to take a lot of maybe they have a
3:04
going to take a lot of maybe they have a
3:04
going to take a lot of maybe they have a little bit of cloud and then all of a
3:05
little bit of cloud and then all of a
3:05
little bit of cloud and then all of a sudden we have this project we're going
3:07
sudden we have this project we're going
3:07
sudden we have this project we're going to take a large chunk to the cloud or
3:09
to take a large chunk to the cloud or
3:09
to take a large chunk to the cloud or we're going to go to the cloud for the
3:10
we're going to go to the cloud for the
3:10
we're going to go to the cloud for the first time or whatever. Um this is a
3:14
first time or whatever. Um this is a
3:14
first time or whatever. Um this is a this is a challenging journey and a lot
3:16
this is a challenging journey and a lot
3:16
this is a challenging journey and a lot of the cloud strategies they fail to
3:18
of the cloud strategies they fail to
3:18
of the cloud strategies they fail to deliver value and and what is some of
3:21
deliver value and and what is some of
3:21
deliver value and and what is some of the core reasons why that can be?
3:24
the core reasons why that can be?
3:24
the core reasons why that can be? Yeah, I think uh one of the core reason
3:27
Yeah, I think uh one of the core reason
3:27
Yeah, I think uh one of the core reason is that normally you you take um a cloud
3:31
is that normally you you take um a cloud
3:31
is that normally you you take um a cloud transformation or cloud migration
3:33
transformation or cloud migration
3:33
transformation or cloud migration approach where you actually just migrate
3:36
approach where you actually just migrate
3:36
approach where you actually just migrate servers or workloads into the cloud
3:37
servers or workloads into the cloud
3:37
servers or workloads into the cloud because that's the easiest way to to
3:40
because that's the easiest way to to
3:40
because that's the easiest way to to start doing stuff and then they kind of
3:42
start doing stuff and then they kind of
3:42
start doing stuff and then they kind of stop there and don't do uh much more
3:44
stop there and don't do uh much more
3:44
stop there and don't do uh much more about it. And uh and that's that's
3:47
about it. And uh and that's that's
3:47
about it. And uh and that's that's something that normally fails because it
3:49
something that normally fails because it
3:49
something that normally fails because it kind of it's become too expensive and it
3:51
kind of it's become too expensive and it
3:52
kind of it's become too expensive and it doesn't make that much value for the
3:54
doesn't make that much value for the
3:54
doesn't make that much value for the business at all. Sometimes it will of
3:56
business at all. Sometimes it will of
3:56
business at all. Sometimes it will of course but but normally it's more about
3:59
course but but normally it's more about
3:59
course but but normally it's more about how do we actually transform it or you
4:01
how do we actually transform it or you
4:01
how do we actually transform it or you have these five Rs and all that stuff or
4:03
have these five Rs and all that stuff or
4:03
have these five Rs and all that stuff or you refactor rehost or re
4:05
you refactor rehost or re
4:05
you refactor rehost or re >> refactor rehost and there's lots of Rs
4:08
>> refactor rehost and there's lots of Rs
4:08
>> refactor rehost and there's lots of Rs >> lots of Rs but but you really need to
4:10
>> lots of Rs but but you really need to
4:10
>> lots of Rs but but you really need to focus on that and I think a lot of where
4:13
focus on that and I think a lot of where
4:13
focus on that and I think a lot of where where stuff fails is where you don't
4:16
where stuff fails is where you don't
4:16
where stuff fails is where you don't have the common language in how we
4:19
have the common language in how we
4:19
have the common language in how we actually are talking about what is the
4:22
actually are talking about what is the
4:22
actually are talking about what is the value from the business perspective and
4:24
value from the business perspective and
4:24
value from the business perspective and into the IT perspective and also when we
4:27
into the IT perspective and also when we

why are these cloud center of excellence or cloud people making value because we
4:41
or cloud people making value because we
4:41
or cloud people making value because we did it last year in on premise uh
