Interoperability, portability and switching are key issues for both cloud providers and customers in 2024. 

This event will explore the latest industry thinking related to interoperability and portability and consider the challenges and opportunities for customers that want to pursue a dynamic multi-vendor distributed cloud environment.

The panel will also examine portability and switching, and ask how easily customers can shift workloads between clouds, and between on-premises environments, to facilitate the adoption of new best-in-class products and services.

Finally, we will consider the extent to which technical barriers to switching or multi-vendor strategies might be inherent, resulting from factors like product differentiation and new innovation. 

The panel will include:

  • Siobhan Wilson, Senior Vice President EMEA Applications Customer Officer and UK Country Leader, Oracle
  • Verity Greig, Director Cloud Transformation - Public Sector, TCS 
  • Anthony SinghIT Automation Leader, IBM

Additional panellists may be announced.
