At this week's Amazon Web Services Summit in San Francisco, the one concept that most everyone is walking away with is the fundamental paradigm shift resulting from the severe disruption of cloud computing, and more specifically AWS, has brought to the industry. SiliconANGLE's John Furrier welcomed George Steele and James S. Kocsi to theCUBE to discuss how their roles as leaders for Capgemini's North American SAP Initiatives and Deal Management team have been affected by the increased acceptance of the cloud by the enterprise.
Leading off the conversation Furrier asked simply, "What gets people on the cloud?" Even though there has been a growing interest and previously tepid embracing of the technology, not everyone has been convinced. Some enterprise customers require a little more hand-holding, as they witness new capabilities and learn of the strides made with regard to security and governance.
Kocsi, speaking specifically to the capability side, stated enterprise customers typically warm to the cloud when they actually see that a tailored solution can drive their business to be not only faster, but also more agile. "Large deploys used to take months. Now we have quicker product launches."
"We can take our OnePath solution and do a demonstration that includes our customers specific needs," stated Steele. And if the company signs off on that version after the demonstration, Capgemini can take and implement that copy within minutes. Only a few years ago, this speed of deployment was unheard of and often required several weeks or even months to complete.
A company like Capgemini can also put minds at ease on the security and governance issues when you note that only five days ago, they were named a 2014 Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute. They have now received this honor two years running.
