Past Event | Driving Business Transformation Through Cloud Adoption
The French Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a powerful discussion on the forces driving enterprise transformation: the Cloud imperative and the explosion of Artificial Intelligence.
A big thank you to our speakers and moderator:
- Julien Fauquereau, CIO - Havas Group
- Pascal Bergougnou, Automotive & Manufacturing Industry Head for APJ - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Khang NGUYEN TRIEU, Founder - The Way Forward
- Moderated by Guillaume ZAPLANA, Deputy Director - Neurones IT Asia
The core of the discussion centered on the business transformation required to capitalize on cloud technology. We noted that while full cloud adoption is still limited, embracing it is now non-negotiable for competitiveness.
Moving forward demands a business-driven approach: prioritizing tailored hybrid cloud solutions over "one size fits all" and migrating from rigid monolithic structures to agile, macrolitic architectures. This transformation requires a significant shift in financial operations, emphasizing FinOps to manage costs and risks effectively.
The cloud is the essential platform for the AI imperative. We stressed that not being AI-ready means not being competitive, as the technology drives massive cost and time savings—from automating call centers to accelerating time to market.
Crucially, the discussion clarified the responsibilities in this new environment: the cloud user is accountable for data governance, while the provider manages security. Businesses must build customer-centric frameworks and securely consolidate data to succeed, ensuring their strategy is resilient against geopolitical pressures and market competition.
The message is clear: mastering both cloud infrastructure and AI innovation is the key to business success in this new era.
