Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room H

Navigating the cloud-native landscape can be daunting, especially when deciding whether to buy a commercial solution, invest in open source technologies, plan significant process change, or undertake building platforms. But once you’ve evaluated the technologies, run POCs, and planned out your processes, how do you convince your business to invest? In this practical session, we’ll give real world case studies of companies evaluating technologies and transformation and how they were able to convince “upper management” of the benefits.

We will spend the session going through the different materials and frameworks to create business alignment and even provide templates for calculating ROI, including development and operational efficiency, cost savings, and business agility metrics.

Whether you're a startup or an enterprise, this session will equip you with actionable steps to use when you present cloud native solutions for budget and investment.
