Enterprise Leadership Forum (ELF) is one of the DASA communities where decision-makers globally come together and discuss how to be more effective in building, deploying and delivering new products and services to meet business needs and requirements whilst improving customer satisfaction.
ELF is one of the many benefits that you, your team, and your organization get when you become part of this association. Learn more about all the benefits

While organizations continue to invest in the cloud, they are not yet experiencing the promised benefits from these investments. Focusing on technology alone will not deliver success, innovation, or value – it will only deliver new technologies and infrastructure, but not necessarily business outcomes.
CIOs and CFOs are now tasked with coming up with and executing a strategy to realize the financial and non-financial benefits of the move to the cloud.
In this event, we discussed the types of investments you have to make to maximize the return on your cloud investment.
- Investment in architecture: Adopting a lift and shift approach to your application will mean you now have a data center in the cloud; you are not getting the benefits of the cloud. To get the benefits of the cloud, you will need to architect or re-architect your application for the cloud.
- Investment in DevOps way of working: To increase the time to deliver new features to customers and build autonomous teams with end-to-end responsibility for the feature or product, you will have to invest in the DevOps way of working.
- Investment in leadership and cultural transformation: To optimize costs, to increase time to market, and to increase the speed of innovation, there has to be leadership and cultural transformation from a data center mindset to a cloud mindset.
