Description
This training introduces you to cloud hype and teaches you what it can do for your enterprise.
Learn how the Google Cloud library can address business challenges through three distinct lenses: technology, economics, and security. Technology alone won’t help your business become innovative, so a fourth lens helps you reimagine the way you work by encouraging a culture of innovation. While working in groups, you’ll develop a vision starting with an ambitious business challenge and then define a potential solution and its impact. This vision will take into account several cloud adoption phases so that you can mobilize your teams to work in parallel toward business acceleration while reducing costs.
