ICYMI: Cloud-based data storage, driving innovation, and sustainability reporting journeys

When we talk about the Plan and Evaluate use case in the context of Cloud Financial Management, we refer to several use cases that all contribute to understanding and evaluating the economic performance of your IT investment, in alignment with your specific business priorities. We focus on the tools, resources, and best practices you can use to make data-driven business decisions that help not only identify, but quantify the value of the cloud to your business. And that goes beyond cost savings.

For this month’s ICYMI resources, we’re sharing these articles from the AWS blogosphere that shed light on how cloud-based data storage, innovation, and sustainability reporting all contribute to the acceleration of your business’s successful digital transformation. As you plan to migrate or modernize your workloads, you can increase speed-to-market and agility, double down on customer obsession, and create new value streams responsibly and sustainably, all with cost optimization in mind.
