People talk about cloud so much that it’s become another buzzword. We get it. So let’s dig deeper and show you why it matters.

Join us for a complimentary event on October 11 in St. Louis when we show you how to maximize your cloud investment to increase innovation and deliver business value in new ways.

Using real case studies, you will learn how to foster innovation with three cloud-enabled technologies ‒ Internet of Things, Machine Learning, and Cloud Native Development.

We will show you how to put these technologies to work in real-world scenarios including:

  • How Internet of Things can improve patient outcomes by using beacons to measure bedside dwell times of healthcare caregivers
  • How Machine Learning can predict employee retention by analyzing the likelihood of an employee either staying or leaving
  • How Cloud Native Development can better manage customer engagement by speeding up development, controlling cost, and ensuring repeatability

And much more!

If you’re a business or technology executive that values innovation, you won’t want to miss this. Whether you are completely cloud, completely on-prem or somewhere in between, you will take away ideas (and inspiration!) on how to accelerate innovation at your organization.
