About this session
Moving to Azure was meant to save money, but plenty of organisations find costs creeping up after migration while the expected performance gains never quite arrive. This recorded session from ANS's cloud team looks at why lift-and-shift rarely delivers the return organisations hoped for, and what to do about it.
It covers finding and cutting unnecessary cloud spend, the role of application modernisation, how optimisation can improve performance, security and scalability, where DevOps and automation fit, and quick wins that can show measurable results fast, plus how a well-optimised platform puts you in a better position for AI.
The form asks for a phone number, so expect a follow-up from ANS after watching.
