The adoption of cloud, driven in large part by IT leaders looking to maximize value, is one of the largest transformations IT has ever seen. Now, internal applications that once ran solely in the data center, are being migrated to Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Users are accessing internal applications from their favorite cafés and on multiple devices, expecting a seamless, cloud-like experience each time.
