“The cloud” is no longer a mysterious phrase that only the most technologically advanced understand; it has become an imperative for businesses across all industries. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this shift, with companies moving swiftly to implement large scale digital transformations to counteract pandemic-related operational issues.

With the cloud computing market size in Australia set to reach US$14.1billion by 2025, the maturing market presents a significant opportunity for those organisations positioned to embrace it.

It sounds hard (and expensive!)

Tech Data has created the Data Centre Modernisation Programme to support your organisation to move from the data centre model you operate today to one that will future-proof your cloud and data centre offer for tomorrow. Using this programme, we will enable you to meet your customers’ needs while growing your business sustainably.

So, what do you need to do to modernise your cloud business practice?

You’ve got a pre-existing managed services and data centre offering – why do you need to change? Let’s take a look at some of the key drivers:
  • You don’t have a public cloud platform to offer customers
  • Your offer doesn’t enable hybrid cloud architectures
  • Your team aren’t confident in helping a customer determine what cloud environment suits them best
  • You’re concerned about contractual risks
  • You come unstuck when trying to navigate capacity planning
  • You’re unsure of the time to value for a data centre migration
  • Staying ahead of your competition

Building a robust cloud practice for your business is a complex task, which is why Tech Data will support you every step of the way.

Here's what we'll deliver to you at
each point in the programme:

Time to value

Eliminate Aging Infrastructure and Accelerate Time to Value

It’s not just about being in one data centre versus another; it’s about the opportunity and risk mitigation.

Common barriers to enable you to provide public cloud managed services include:
  • Challenges managing the partner/customer relationship – Under previous operating models, the public cloud service provider would oversee customer accounts management, monitoring, and billing. Working with us to build your public cloud practice via Azure CSP, you are in control of these relationships.
  • Lack of clarity around time to recoup the investment in a public cloud platform – we will help you calculate your breakeven point, so you know your time to value.
  • Concern around leveraging legacy investments – Many businesses are concerned about maximising old investments – you need to balance this against preparing for the future.
  • Mitigating contractual risks – Our programme provides advice and assistance to migrate current contracts and minimise risks.
