Why Are Enterprises Moving to the Cloud?

Move from risk-laden

up-front expense to

flexible variable expense

Stop guessing

at capacity planning

Go global in

minutesRemove complicated infrastructure

management that adds little

business value

GE Oil & Gas is migrating 500 applications, and more than 750TB of data, to

the cloud by the end of 2016 as part of a major digital transformation, helping it

attain a 52% reduction in TCO and greater speed to market.

Get Rid of Time-Consuming, Expensive Tasks

Lower the time spent

on infrastructure

Dedicate more

resources to innovation

Concentrate on new

business initiatives

“Our goal is to move at the speed of business. Our customers’ needs

change constantly, and we need to be able to adapt to that.”

Keith Homewood – Cloud Product Owner, Nordstrom
