Companies across industries are leveraging the benefits of the cloud, while also maintaining control and flexibility. IT leaders are achieving this by adopting a ‘cloud smart’ strategy, and carefully considering which workloads are best suited for the cloud, rather than blindly moving everything into it. By adopting hybrid models and optimizing certain workloads (such as testing, DevOps, and OS upgrades), IBM i organizations are capturing the benefits of the cloud, while also avoiding unnecessary technical debt.  

In this session, we will explore what it means to be cloud smart in 2023 and beyond, best practices to consider as you start planning or implementing your 2023 strategy, and how to effectively use the cloud to drive your business forward.
