Amid macroeconomic uncertainty, AWS looks up the stack to enable complete solutions for customers
Despite some of the macroeconomic challenges that have stalled many IT projects, AWS (Amazon Web Services) continues to invest, testing customers’ use of the cloud, and ultimately prepare for a boon in adoption across SaaS, PaaS and IaaS once markets normalize. To support demand, AWS announced several offerings at re: Invent, which, in addition to the usual cadence of updates and features released in response to customer demand, included solutions less customary for the IaaS leader to offer, such as industry-specific modules and a service parallel to a true SaaS business application. When Selipsky took the helm as CEO in May 2021, we speculated how his experience at Salesforce would tie into an infrastructure-centric company like AWS. A year and a half later, it is clear that Selipsky is bringing AWS into a new chapter, one that looks beyond general-purpose infrastructure toward data and application services that will support the next wave of innovation and cutting-edge workload requirements.
SAP and SoftwareONE: Persistent value through pragmatic transformation
From high-level strategy consultancies to thin-margin VARs, vendors constantly hype their abilities to help enterprises unlock the value of digital transformation. Global director of SAP Business Development Pierre-Francis Grillet and SoftwareONE have a refreshingly modest and believable counterproposal: pragmatic, incremental IT and business transformation, with the sober recognition that a change as significant as migrating to S/4HANA and to the cloud needs to be executed in a series of manageable — and financially feasible — steps. In Grillet’s opinion, “S/4 touches everything,” so overcoming hurdles like resilience, security, and interoperability and connectedness should be approached with caution, expertise and realistic expectations. Pragmatic, incremental transformation may not sound as exciting as design thinking-led agile disruptive innovation, but software that doesn’t work is useless, no matter how transformative it could be.
